Ceremonies provide an environment in which the best national talent can merge with creative personalities and professionals from all over the world, contributing to build a lasting legacy in the live entertainment industry. They are both an opportunity and a responsibility: the opportunity to reach a global audience and the responsibility to deliver content that matters.
Simone Merico, BWS Managing Partner, said: «Thanks to our long Olympic experience we know that Ceremonies are the ideal occasion for a country to showcase itself to the world. They are the perfect tool to make a statement not only about a country’s history, creativity and cultural diversity, but also about a clear trajectory to the future. Ceremonies are an unparalleled communication tool to convey the values and unique qualities of a country, and to position it globally and regionally».
