EastCoast Entertainment's Steve Thomas Spends "Happy Hour" on Fox Business News
Richmond, VA (PRWEB) December 13, 2007 -- EastCoast Entertainment (http://www.eastcoastentertainment.com) (ECE), the country's largest entertainment agency, was featured on Fox Business News' (FBN) new business and social program, 'Happy Hour', on Monday, December 10, 2007. Co-hosts Rebecca Gomez and Cody Willard invited ECE Managing Director and Founder Steve Thomas up to the bar (watch video clip (http://www.eastcoastentertainment.com/news/106.html)) at the Bull & Bear in the Waldorf Astoria to share his tips for corporate holiday party planning and to explain the trends ECE has been seeing this year.
"This was a great opportunity to reach a very important demographic," said Steve Thomas. "Fox Business News' 'Happy Hour' is a very high-energy business and financial show that targets the young and influential businessperson by mixing business and pleasure immediately following the closing of the stock market. The show is a great concept and we are excited to be part of it."
"We're seeing a tiny cutback in parties for employees, but not for customers or incentive parties for top-performers," Thomas told Gomez and Willard. "Business is better than ever, the parties are getting bigger though they are fewer in number. We're seeing people do really unusual things, like renting out baseball stadiums, and using extreme sports."
"One interesting thing we're seeing is big celebrity entertainers who would normally want a huge production are willing to do smaller, unplugged shows," he continued. "So if someone wanted the Eagles in their living room, the Eagles might do that."
If hired for a party for 'Happy Hour,' Thomas would go all out, "Celebrity entertainment, extreme sports, we'd have seven different rooms with seven different themes."
'Happy Hour,' airs live from the Bull & Bear at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan on Fox Business News from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
