“There was definitely more than one “Dream Team” at the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games and it was Paulette Wolf Events and Entertainment. ”

— Judith Service (Entertainment Director, Atlanta Committee for The Olympic Games)

OBJECTIVE

Paulette Wolf Events was contracted by The Atlanta Committee For The Olympic Games to create, book and produce entertainment in custom venues inside the athlete village.

 

OVERVIEW

PWE was responsible for producing over 250 live performances over 33 days in 6 different venues simultaneously for the 16,000 Olympics athletes, coaches and officials during the Centennial Olympic Games.The challenge was entertaining over 16,000 people who spoke over 100 languages and keeping them engaged. Our primary goal was to not only entertain the athletes and coaches, but to also keep them safe within the village while providing a relaxed social environment for them to interact.

The wide range of entertainment had diverse appeal and transcended all cultural and language boundaries. Entertainment included coffee house music, multi-cultural dance productions, big name entertainment, presidential visits and an international movie premier for Warner Brothers as the grand finale.

“The PWE team are not only total pros, they are also an absolute joy to work with! Despite many challenges, they pulled off a flawless event that was on-budget and beyond expectations. We couldn’t have been in better hands!”

— Liz Kores (Oak Street Council)

 

OBJECTIVE

PWE was tasked by the Oak Street Council to create an event that would drive shopping traffic to stores on a Sunday while promoting the luxury brand and feel of Oak Street.

 

OVERVIEW

The Ferrari Club of America and the Oak Street Council came together to elicit the glamour and the extravagance of the city in a red carpet event for Ferrari purists and enthusiasts along Oak Street, Chicago’s luxury shopping destination.

PWE shut down Oak Street from Michigan Avenue to State Street to set the stage for 70 award-winning, vintage, late-model and racing Ferraris to be showcased in front of the city’s most beautiful boutiques for public display. Many owners were on hand to answer questions about their fabulous cars. In addition to taking in the incredible views of these iconic automobiles, visitors enjoyed special offers from the boutiques and restaurants on and around Oak Street.

Raffle tickets benefiting McDonald House Charities were sold at the event featuring prizes of restaurant gift certificates, hotel stays and luxury goods from Oak Street retailers. This event after an eight-year hiatus set the foundation for an annual event with its success operationally making it attractive to potential sponsors in the future.

“Absolute perfection! These are the best words to describe what you get from a PWE event.”

— Bill Kaplan (Chairman & Co-Founder, Senior Lifestyle Corporation)

OBJECTIVE

Candelabras_SheriWhitkoThe goal of this celebration was to highlight the progression and growth of the company’s past, celebrate their present success and anticipate a promising future. We incorporated the evolution of the company and its story into many aspects of the event.

 

OVERVIEW

We have produced multiple milestone anniversary celebrations for Senior Lifestyle Corporation (SLC), a family owned company that operates retirement living communities throughout the US.

Upon the guest’s arrival, they were welcomed with powerful 18′ illuminated candelabras that set the tone for an unforgettable night. An oversized chandelier made of elegant bottles glamorized the entryway with walls that featured the original dancing couple logo. A stunning aerialist suspended by silks greeted guests as she descended from the center of the chandelier to pour glasses of champagne.

As guests entered the main venue, they were embraced by the history of the company through various aspects of the décor. There were four custom focal points in the room: branded shades hanging 18’ in the air that depicted several SLC locations across the country, illuminated branded bars, food stations featuring Smithsonian Institute style backdrops that illustrated the company’s historic timeline & milestones and a video wall highlighting the company’s new logo.

The food was an amazing combination of J&L Catering, Mon Ami Gabi Restaurant, Evergreen Restaurant, RPM Italian Restaurant and Shake Shack. We utilized Redmoon’s unique entertainment to serve hors d’oeuvres from stilted servers, cake hats and radio controlled quadropcopter drones that flew over the crowd.

As the evening went on, guests eagerly awaited the reveal of the night’s entertainment: World-renowned Chicago blues artist, Buddy Guy & the American rock band from San Francisco, Train.

Consumer Activations & Branded Environments

“Our experience working with PWE on Camp Groupon was overall a seamless partnership. The team at PWE became an extension of our in-house experiential team and helped execute a flawless experience for our guests. Their experience and on-site management is second to none, and I can’t wait to work with them again on a future program.”

— Noelle Provencial (Director of Experiential Marketing & Events, Groupon)

 

OVERVIEW

 

At PWE, we recognize the significance of your brand and strive to be a seamless extension of your team in curating exceptional experiences.

We define live events through engagement solutions that align with your strategy, allowing participant engagement before, during, and after the event, thereby giving a broader footprint and a longer tail to your message’s reach.

Our process involves understanding your brand’s position in the market, so we can leverage the key strengths that it brings. Activations are about engaging the consumer on a thought-process level rather than telling them what to think. In essence, a brand’s actions speak louder than its words. Our role is to create meaning and connections for our clients and their brands.

We ensure brand consistency while upholding content, quality, and fiscal accountability.
