Marie Claire Teambuilding in NYC

Andy Sharpe — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 13:58:12 +0000

Marie Claire rocked it out with Song Division for their recent sales meeting in the iconic Hearst Tower in NYC. The groups were equipped with some of Song Division’s coolest (and hottest) musicians that have played with the likes of Lauryn Hill, Jewel, Billy Squier, Carole King and Bono. Racy and raunchy rock lyrics, slow and sexy sounds and an upbeat ‘hand jive’ were created by the group in just an hour and judged by a panel of their top advertisers. What a way to mix business with more business!

“The staff of Marie Claire recently experienced Song Division and we had the time of our lives!! I was pleasantly surprised by the hidden musical talent in our group, and had a great time writing original songs, performing, and team building with our fabulous staff!” Nancy Cardone, VP & Publisher, Marie Claire

Watch out for Song Division featuring in the October issue of Marie Claire magazine and on MarieClariePromotions.com and RunwayRealway.com!

Berlin Conference Energiser

Andy Sharpe — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 22:27:05 +0000

Medtronic (a world leader in medical technology and inventor of the pace maker) called on Song Division to energise their 3 day conference at the Kempinski Hotel, Berlin. Kicking off the conference at 8.30am, the 30 minute songwriting session involved 165 people from sales, marketing, finance and doctors from across Europe.

Backed by Song Division’s German band who have played with AIR, Seal, Chaka Khan, The Temptations & Wynton Marsalis the participants were either on stage or standing at their seats singing along to the very funky song they’d just written. The music came from a Medtronic volunteer, a finance manager who surprised his colleagues with his musical talent, and the lyrics came from the talented crowd! The band then played a rocking party set that evening at the amazing Puro Sky Lounge, in the penthouse of the Mercedes Tower overlooking Berlin.

Song Division & The Salvation Army Help The Homeless

Andy Sharpe — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 01:23:13 +0000

Thanks to your generosity at the Song Division BBQ in Sydney last March, we’ve partnered with the Salvation Army in Melbourne to help 30 very talented, young homeless people write and record 2 fantastic songs!

Based out of a double decker bus, The Salvos have an amazing program that visits about 80 homeless young people each night. Many of them have two things in common – a love for music and some real talent. But they haven’t had the opportunity write and record their music with the help of professionals – this is where Song Division was able to help We spent an awesome, hugely moving evening with them, helping put pen to paper and voices to mics to record the two very different songs. It was exhilarating to be able to record their incredible stories of life on the street, giving these young people the voice they deserve. Taking it one step further, we’re currently developing a CSR program for our corporate clients where they can ’sponsor’ a young person or group of young people to record their music professionally. It’s a very immediate, powerful and personal initiative, recognising the positive impact and affect music has on young people. We only have to remind ourselves of a song that has soundtracked a time in our own life, such as a love or a loss, to know how music can change and influence our lives. Massive thanks again to everyone who attended the Song Division BBQ and made this happen. Keep January 16th free for next year’s BBQ!!!!

Those of you in Australia can vote for the Song Division BBQ as ‘Australia’s Favorite Event’. Click on this link to VOTE until Sunday September 12th 2010.
