Spotlight on 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games – Let the Games Begin

As the torch makes its way across Canada, the brand.LIVE team will be busy behind-the-scenes in the months leading up to the 2010 Games, with some incredible opportunities for brand activation and event production, including Alberta House, Holland Heineken House and Vancouver's own Olympic Pavilion. Paul Runnals, Senior VP - Production has also been selected to work with David Atkins to produce the highly anticipated Nightly Medal Ceremonies. “We are thrilled to be a part of the 2010 Ceremonies team and working with one of the most highly recognized leaders in global event production"  Victory Ceremonies kick off on February 14th and continue through until February 26th, with each night featuring medal presentations and a headline talent concert.
