COMMPANY organises press reception in museum

The Helaba Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen, located in Frankfurt and Erfurt, has regularly commissioned COMMPANY with the organisation and coordination of its press events since 1995.

This year again, the main focus was on finding yet another exceptional location in Frankfurt " the result was an event in the historical transport museum. The event hall covers a space of over 2000 sqm and usually houses an exhibition of historical trams and buses dating back 125 years. Located in Schwannheimer Forst, the historical tram depot was showcased with unusual lighting and decorations, and provided an extraordinary ambience for the event amidst 30 original exhibits.

COMMPANY was also again responsible for creating a supporting programme which was to be both suitably sophisticated and with an affinity to literature. For this, COMMPANY managed to win three icons of German language culture: former top TV newsreaders Dagmar Berghoff, Jo Brauner and Wilhelm Wieben availed themselves for a gala event for the first time outside of their current German reading tour. For decades, they had always found the right expression, the right phrase - never did words fail them. Whatever they said obeyed the laws of grammar. And that evening in the old tram depot, these legends of TV news suddenly found new words passing their lips, and provided amusing entertainment with "Do you speak present?", their not-too-serious portrayal of contemporary bizarre jargon.
 
The trio "Soul Melounge" catered for the evening's accompanying mood music. Versatile vocalist Daria Tiana, saxophonist Stephan Schwiderski and pianist Joroen Jacobs whisked the guests into a world of dreamy melodies, romantic ballads and jazzy interpretations.

COMMPANY organised and conducted the search for an extraordinary location and the entire supporting programme as well as handling the concept work and implementation of all light and sound technology. This year, and for the first time, the agency also handled the design and mailings of the invitations - from initial concept work and art direction up to packaging and logistics. Ultimately, COMMPANY was responsible for the evening's entire programme from start to finish.
