MPI (Meeting Planners International), 500 people:

“I would like to thank Song Division for an awesome job!  The conference has been a big success and you have played an important part in this. It was a sheer joy…you guys are really able to connect with a large audience instantly and I was impressed by what could be done in such short amount of time. And did you see how quick the dance floor was filled on the final night? I don’t think it even took 7 seconds to get everyone out of their seats and on to the dance floor, dancing the night away!” Miranda van Brück, Event Manger, MPI’s European Meetings  Events Conference (EMEC), Spain


Redken, 70 people:

“Redken just had an incredible party here at the wonderful Paramount Hotel in New York for 70 of the world’s leading hairstylists.   There isn’t a better way to bring everyone together, and in such a creative way, than with Song Division.  It was true team building, where everyone’s individual styles still came out, then they all came together with an incredible shared experience.  As the organizers of Redken events, working with Song Division was a flawless experience.  We definitely recommend them to everybody out there!” Kerrin Perez (Manager of Shows & Events), Christine Schuster (Senior Vice President of Education), Charlie Kennedy (Assistant Vice President of Shows, Events & Production), USA


Novo Nordisk, 2700 people:

“We can’t wait to do more big events with Song Division, you guys were amazing!!! “ Wendy Chatman, Producer, Todd Street Events, USA


The Salvation Army, 20 people:

“Thank you Song Division for supporting the young homeless people we work with at the Salvation Army Melbourne Project 614. Thank you for providing the opportunity to write and record some amazing original songs.  Some of them had been waiting and writing all day in anticipation of the session.  Their expectations were only exceeded by the results.  It was great to see the young people realise their talents and actually record some fantastic work.  It was an inspiring and hugely successful night.  Everyone wants you to come back soon!“ Major Brendan Nottle, Commanding Officer, The Salvation Army, Melbourne CBD, Australia


Pitney Bowes, 300 people:

(Taken from ‘Event Peeps’ linkedin group post) “I wanted to share a great teambuilding event. I read about www.songdivision.com in Corporate Event Magazine and gave them a call.  You can check out their site but basically they break your attendees into groups, bring in very experienced session musicians(some well known) and help each team write a song around a theme of your choosing.  At the end (we did this during our evening party after happy hour) each group goes on stage (with the full band of musicians behind them ) and sings their custom song.
We had a global group of sales ppl (several didn’t have English as a first language) of about 300. The songs were hysterical and the sales team had a blast.
No-one has to sing alone – it’s a total group thing. The words they wrote are up on the screen so the audience can see them. We did a little contest to pick the best song.
Really fun – the Song Division crew are passionate about the program and make sure it works for you. Four of our divisions ended up using this activity at their various kickoff events around the US.” Rennay Barton, Director, Marketing Programs & Events, Pitney Bowes, USA


Switzerland Tourism, 40 people:

“Our guests and Swiss partners were somewhat sceptical when introduced to the concept and faced the challenge of composing and singing a song. However, as the evening and the session progressed, all guests and partners involved, threw themselves into it and by the end of it were singing away with no care in the world and all agreed it was an unforgettable experience.

Thanks to Song Division we were able to give clients a truly memorable and event and they managed to adapt their case to our needs, in this case having 4 different teams writing a song each, competing for the ‘best song’ prize and get their song recorded in the winning tune ‘Which land? Switzerland!!’ might not be going for the Swiss entry Eurovision, however that did not matter one bit, and together with a truly talented band it just rocked, and everyone went away humming the song and had Switzerland going around in their head for days! I can most certainly recommend the services of Song Division, a very professional team, who will deliver creative concepts no matter what surroundings or group size. Keep on Rocking!!” Urs Treuthardt, Manager Meetings & Incentives, Switzerland Convention & Incentive Bureau (UK Office)


Cuscal, 280 people:

“When 280 of our employees walked into the conference room after a break and saw the band in full swing, there were many skeptical looks and some people even tried to edge their way back out of the room. But an hour later those same people stood shoulder-to-shoulder with huge grins on their faces as they belted out their very own hit song. The feeling in the air was electric. Not only did our employees have fun, but they learned that if they all work together towards the same goal, they can produce brilliant results in a very short amount of time. The energy, professionalism and authenticity (and damn good humour) of the band, Ben and Monica, made our session a huge success. I would happily recommend Song Division.” Tanja Van Heerden, Head of People and Culture, Cuscal, Australia


PricewaterhouseCoopers, 20 people:

“As a culturally diverse group, it was an amazingly cohesive experience for our team to step inside a fully working studio with Song Division.  With very limited social interaction within the team previously, we were all initially a little timid. But with the help of Song Division, we put some catchy lyrics together and the collective creativity took over from there. I would never have imagined the results to be so good!” Jeremy Capes-Baldwin, Transfer Pricing, PwC USA


Virgin Mobile, 20 people:

“It was great to do something totally different rather than another mundane team building activity.  A brilliant way to get to know your team better.  YOU GUYS ROCK!” Andy Mallinson, Brand and Marketing Director, Virgin Mobile Australia


Coca-Cola:

“The unique day was filled with laughter and provided a fantastic opportunity for the teams to come together and get to know each other in an informal setting; a rare thing in a corporate environment. Many thanks to Song Division for an amazing experience!”


KPMG:

“Song Division scored an overall rating of 4.6 out of 5 from the 150 global participants who attended the conference in Ho Chi Minh City. They scored 2nd out of a total of 28 other assessment variables and they were only topped by a charity excursion… All in all it was a huge success, exceeded objectives and was a pleasurable and professional experience. We’ll be using Song Division again and recommending them to anyone required.”

ING / Cerebral Palsy Mentoring Program:

“Song Division achieved in 6 hours what we try to achieve in 6 months.  You guys are amazing!” Pete Horsley, Program Director


VisitBritain (British Tourist Board):

“Song Division enabled visitBritain to extend our product marketing message to the vast travel industry community across the USA with a fabulously innovative approach.

Professionally facilitated and executed, Song Division provided the perfect platform to deliver an energetic, creative and interactive campaign enabling me to bring industry leaders to the forefront and be the ‘voice’ of expertise within our B2B community.

This is a fresh and innovative approach to destination marketing and, in my opinion, an ideal solution for any B2B marketing.  Thanks for expert guidance and creativity.” Carl Walsh, VisitBritain, Regional Director – Travel Trade, Business Visits & Events (Americas)


Westpac:

“There was considerable value in being able to use the one supplier for both the team activity and the evening entertainment. The combination of both represented value for money and simplified logistics, not to mention the success in meeting our dual objectives – communicating core messages and giving our team a fun and unforgettable experience!”


Bras n Things:

“Song Division was used to break up our 3 day conference and the interaction helped us to better communicate, make decisions and engage with each other. It was great to write a song about what the brand meant to us while having a ridiculous amount of fun!”


Optus:

“The feedback was incredible – I was still receiving thank you text messages from the team on Saturday!”


Reed Exhibitions:

“In order to foster our creativity, bring out our many hidden talents and support our yearly kick off, Song Division was brought on board to help our business departments write and record seven unique songs about ‘team excellence’. The songs were performed with finesse and glamour at our annual gala dinner. It was a hugely successful night thanks to the professionalism, commitment and talents of the Song Division team and the results speak for themselves back in the workplace where morale is up, communication is stronger and relationships renewed.”


SG Group (recrutiment):

“The whole team at Song Division should be proud of themselves!  The team building concept they are providing and the brilliant way they all play their part in implementing the sessions is outstanding.  We had so much fun writing our very own song! It got the creative juices flowing and we laughed till we hurt! Working with real musicians was fantastic and it is amazing how they get everyone involved and relaxed by creating a fun environment. It was perfect. A big thank you Song Division!”


Ambition Finance:

“There was no better way to reward our top performers than to throw them a party in a recording studio and get them to write and record their own song! This concept far exceeded the typical staff luncheon or sailing experience as everyone had to embrace something completely new while having a serious amount of fun. All in all it was a huge success and the song is absolutely hilarious. We’ll be back to press a B Side in the new year…”
