We were awarded the pitch to do the Mercedes-Benz Financial Services CEO handover which was made up of 2 events, an afternoon staff function as well as an evening dealer function. The afternoon function we used an African theme to welcome the new CEO to our shores, and the food and décor supported this theme. We even had a drumming session to the “World in Union” by PJ Powers to usher in the new era for the team. The evening function however was an exclusive affair with a 7-course fine dining meal with wine pairing, whiskey experience and cigar lounge, complete with very upmarket décor and entertainment, including a welcome AV about Africa and the calabash which we decided to use to be the handover symbol. For the outgoing CEO we wanted an emotional send off by creating an AV with staff that would leave a tear to his eye. And so it did!
