A word from the editor

So, another Summer is over and the busy Autumn season has kicked off at Revelation. However the biggest news to share with you all is that Revelation has expanded globally and is pleased to announce Revelation Middle East, which is based in ADNEC, Abu Dhabi.

We have a whole array of shows happening including the European Annual Gas Conference in Düsseldorf, Germany, the launch of Food on the Move exhibition, The Restaurant Show and the South West Tourism Excellence Awards 2007-2008 to name a few.

Since the last newsletter the weather did improve (we believe it to be entirely thanks to our wonderful beach scenes!) and we managed to have a few nice sunny days, but even when it rained the team still managed to pretend it was summer and get the faithful old Barbie on the go!!

As well as the great news about Revelation going global, there's been a flurry of other things to celebrate over the last couple of months with Revelation's 4th wedding (this time it was the turn of Zak and Jessica - congratulations guys) and also the appointment of a new general manager, Zoe Swindell who joins us from Ontrac PR.

Last month our MD, Matt Sims and Account Manager, Zak Roby were asked to attend the Events Industry Awards as guests of the Events Industry Alliance, both had a cracking night and our thanks go to the EIA for the invite.

I must also just say a quick thanks to all of you who sent in pictures of the beach scenes on your desks, we're glad you enjoyed them as much as we did, it was great to receive all your photos. Plus a big thank you to all the entrants of the summer beach ball game competition, the final winner was Louise Desimone who received a Revelation blue iPod Shuffle for her incredible score of 397.97! Well done Louise.

That's it from me for now; I hope you all have a great autumn season.

It's a Revelation!

PS...if you haven't organised your Christmas Party yet then give us a call.

Over the last couple of months Revelation have been working hard on several projects for a new client of ours, Connaught, who provide property related services. We were appointed to create four promotional DVD's that focused on four different areas of the Connaught business, event managing and producing their conference in November and also designing a number of pieces of marketing material for an exhibition the company was attending.

The filming part of the project had the Revelation team brainstorming and generating ideas for story boards with the client, sourcing actors from a series of auditions, filming on location and then editing and creating the DVD's in the edit suite. We got to maximise our creativity coming up with the character "Compliance Man" who very coolly manages to save the day! It was a really great project to work on and the final product looks fantastic.

We don't often mention the Video Production side to our business but it is very important to us. If you think that we might be able to help you with a project whether it be a training video, promotional film or maybe live event filming and web streaming then just call a member of the team and we will be more than happy to help or click here

Revelation is taking its expertise to India at the end of the month for a brand new Gas & Oil exposition & conference being held in New Delhi.

Working alongside dmg world media we'll be providing full production management making us responsible for all the local suppliers and local crew, their logistics, briefing and performance. Onsite, the team will be responsible for the main conference auditorium as well as the speakers that are presenting in there. There will be a speaker preview lounge (an area where they will be able to review their presentations and relax before speaking) which is also managed by Revelation.

The Baking Industry Awards

The Baking Industry Awards were first started by William Reed Publishing in 1987 in association with British Baker. They have since grown to be one of the most prestigious events in the baking industries calendar, attracting around a 1000 of the sectors key people to share in rewarding and acknowledging companies that have been successful in driving the industry forward.

For the second year running, Revelation were appointed as Production Management Company for the Baking Industry Awards held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London.

As guests arrived at the awards ceremony they walked through an entrance way tunnel that was lit with soft lighting to create an ambience for the event - once inside the venue, guests were welcomed at a drinks reception. A VIP reception was also provided, both areas being designed, lit and signed by Revelation.

At the awards dinner that was being held in the main room, the team designed and built the stage and set which incorporated all the Baking Industry branding, whilst paying keen attention to ensuring the outcome was consistent with all the marketing produced for the event.

The brief asked for a "Bond" style theme which was interpreted through the stage design, whilst a video of a silhouetted bond girl dancing was produced specifically for the event and shown on screens around the room. The projection, the audio and lighting were all supplied and managed by Revelation.

For their walk up to the stage the winners' were spot lit and supported by Bond themed music that was sourced and edited by Revelation to further bring the theme to life.

The PowerPoint background for the big screens that displayed all the winners information was designed by the team and further reflected the branding of the awards. A sting that showcased the sponsors of the event was produced and this was played on a loop during the evening for all the guests to see.

William Reed were delighted with Revelation's contribution to the success of the event and were very grateful for the seamless execution of all the production elements.

The Baking Industry Awards event manager for William Reed said "I just wanted to say a huge, massive thank you for everything last night! The room looked fantastic and everything worked like clockwork (as usual!)".

This year HBOS are having their Christmas celebrations at their offices in Clevedon and have asked us to event manage and produce the occasion. The party will take place in a marquee erected in the grounds and will have a Bond theme. Revelation will be managing the entire pre event liaison as well as the audio visual requirements at the party. Plus we will be organising the entertainment and the theming of the marquee, with casinos and a disco; oh yes we aim to give all the guests a licence to thrill!

The seven guys from Coventry who make up the Kombat Breakers were a huge success on the recent ITV show "Britain's Got Talent" and proved to be as big a hit at the aeo Conference gala dinner. The group mixes break-dance and street into an explosive and eye catching act which is great entertainment for anyone watching. You can see some video of them performing on their myspace page http://www.myspace.com/kombatbreakers

If you are interested in the Kombat Breakers or hiring entertainment for your event then you can call the sales team at Revelation on 0117 9560777.

The trip spans four days and comes as a reward to the Axis Shield Diagnostics sales team who have hit their annual targets. The team will be accommodated in private riad's and will be treated to an evening in the Atlas Mountains as well as having guided tours around the sites of Marrakech. We hope they have a great time, and if there is any room in anyone's suitcase?!?!
