You name it, we've done it. We don't want to sound like we're boasting, but after so many years of being in business, it's only natural that we have become special event experts. We don't push having a special event for the sake of it. We will counsel a client about what he or she wants to achieve, and then evaluate the net results of creating an event from a small dinner party
to a parade down Fifth Avenue to a major national, multi-city campaign.
If a budget is established, we are experts at judging the true value of each dollar. If a budget is not established, we counsel on what you can get from column A or B.
The good news is that the best events are not necessarily the ones with the biggest budgets. We have hosted intimate roundtable discussions costing less than $1,000, which have generated front-page headlines in newspapers across the country. We have also arranged million-dollar press parties on behalf of a clients to create good will. We know how to generate stories, we know how
to position and enhance your image, and we certainly know how to create an unforgettable event that will give you an everlasting effect.

Here Are Some Press Conference Events That Highlight Our Career.
Every Event Was Covered By Major Media
50TH NY DGA AWARDS - Over 500 industry members attended the 50th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards in New York this year, a whopping record number for the Gotham event. The HWH executive team secured a star studded lineup for The Windows on the World Event. Kathleen Turner, Mistress of Ceremonies, led the way
along with Danny Aiello, Anne Meara. Caroline Rhea, Michael Nouri, Soupy Sales, Jane Alexander and Richard Belzer.
SAMSUNG wanted to launch the marketing campaign for it's new line of high definition televisions so we helped organize a spectacular Consumer Electronics Division event. Overlooking the City of New York from the prestigious Windows On The World Restaurant on the 106th floor of the World Trade Center,
Samsung Electronics America invited key dealers and the press to watch the historic John Glenn launch into space on October 29, 1998 on their HDTV units. Harris Corporation conducted a 70-minute broadcast and Samsung was one of only four manufacturers which provided High Definition Televisions for viewing the launch.
BSR (USA) wanted to dramatize its convenient, new X-10 wireless technology that turns on lights and appliances throughout the home. We built stage-quality room settings in the main ballroom of the Hotel Pierre that showed the remote advantages of the system from room to room. We hired models for the demonstration.
MEMOREX RECORDING TAPE wanted to bring to life its famous "Is It Live or Is It Memorex?" ad campaign. We rented the recital room at Carnegie Hall and hired the Julliard orchestra to compete against the tape to show how little difference there was between prerecorded music and concert hall quality sound.
CBS/FOX VIDEO was introducing a new line of Marilyn Monroe tapes. We staged a Marilyn Monroe look-a-like contest at Sam Goody's and awarded videos to the winner and runner-ups. Joan Rivers judged the contest.
JVC wanted to unveil the VHS-C, the first lightweight camcorder. We rented a TV production studio and created a banana party. Guests had to guess which VHS-C retail box had the bunch of bananas and which had the camcorders. All the boxes were passed around the room. Those who guessed correctly won one of 25 units
given away that day.
THE TEMPLE OF UNDERSTANDING, an international, interfaith religious group that promotes harmony for all mankind. During the Mideast crisis we organized a candlelight peace march for hundreds of people to send a message to The White House to continue the peace talks without war threats. We marched from Cathedral of
St. John the Divine to Temple Emanuel. The march was attended by Joan Baez, David Dinkins, Art Garfunkel, and John Lithgow.
HEADSTART/PHILIPS COMPUTERS wanted to show how simple their PC was to operate. We rented out the entire Museum of Natural History and presented the slide show presentation on the sky dome. Dr. Spock, (Leonard Nimoy) narrated the event.

DE VECCHI HANDBAGS designer Hamilton Hodge wanted to debut a new collection and show how the shapes of his handbag line followed the forms of nature--rocks, shells, stones. We found an empty gallery, built walls and displays and hired a fashion artist to sketch environment settings around the merchandise. Madeline
Kahn, Elle, Ivana, Kathleen Turner and Cindy Adams attended.
R. R. BOWKER wanted the publishing industry to recognize its LMP Book as the main reference guide in the trades. We established the LMP Awards to acknowledge the industry in editing, writing, artistry, production, etc. Hosted in a pre-war social club on Park Avenue, Master of Ceremonies George Plimpton underscored
the value of the LMP Book. All leading figures in the industry attended.
