November 20, 2009 - Marketing Breakthroughs staff members put a lot of time
into the 12th Annual Ottawa Celebrity Sports Dinner, and on
November 18, they were given their just desserts.
Steve Klein, MB CEO & Creative Director worked
throughout the evening to coordinate the event. Meanwhile, Graphic
Designer Elise Goodhoofd, who contributed her design skills to
the dinner, got to kick back and enjoy her evening from the
Marketing Breakthroughs table.
"There were so many elements to the evening, it was
great to see them all come together so smoothly," Goodhoofd said.
"There was outstanding branding for the whole event."
Blue and red table signs greeted all the dinner guests
as they sat down to enjoy a delicious meal featuring a succulent
roast and a sweet hazelnut-chocolate dessert.
Stuart Ages, Paramount Properties Vice-President and
Chair of the OCSD expressed his appreciation for Marketing
Breakthroughs following the event.
"In all our wildest dreams, no one could have predicted
the levels of success we accomplished Wednesday night," he
said.
In addition to Klein acting as Executive Producer for
this prestigious event, MB contributed its talents to updating the
Sports Dinner logo,
designing posters and signage, the multimedia
presentation, and coordinating the event from the planning to
execution.
"The event ran like clockwork," Klein said. "We had a
great plan and a great team making the dinner happen."
The evening was highlighted by a keynote address from
former Super Bowl MVP John Elway, and a live and silent auction of
sports memorabilia and other luxurious items. Ottawa Celebrities at
the event included TSN's Rod Black, CFL legend Russ Jackson, and
Ottawa Senators COO Cyril Leeder.
According to the
Ottawa Citizen, the approximately 700 people in
attendance raised more than $175,000 for the Soloway
JCC.
