Big Bash League & Portsea Hotel
2020..what a wild ride. Through all the ups and downs, one thing remained clearly in focus, that we were all looking forward to the other side of it. It’s been great to see live entertainment make its way back slowly, with events offering experiences in a Covid safe way. There’s no denying the appetite and energy from people to be out again! From NGV Gala to Moonee Valley Racing, CEA has been a trusted avenue for music programming since day one and in 2021 we’ve hit the ground sprinting! Procurement opportunities for luxury fashion brands, plus entertainment for Big Bash League where some of our favourite artists, Banoffee, Alice Ivy, Graace, Inoxia have been prominent. CEA has also scheduled an intimate performance with Julia Stone at the amazing Portsea Hotel. This is definitely not one to be missed. The new world of events and branded entertainment means that every programming opportunity needs relevance and agility, while being able to move with the times. CEA prides itself on work ethic, giving us an incredible head start as we settle into a new way forward. -Pete Sofo, Head of Branded Entertainment 2020..what a wild ride.
