Set a Guiness World Record for the World‘s Largest Fireworks Display

In a place where living large is part of the daily landscape, the Atlantis Hotel & Palm Island required a grand opening to launch their brand in the Middle East, breaking through a saturated market to impress a discerning audience that craves opulence above all else.

Knowing of our spectacular events, Kerzner International Resorts hired Colin Cowie with the mandate to create the event of all events by ramping up our approach to “spectacle”; this, combined with a deep network of PR and press, created an event that is still talked about today.

Benchmarks:

• Efforts coordinated across countless vendors
• Provided white glove VIP service to an unprecedented list of dynamic A-List celebrity members
• 100,000 fireworks used – or seven times the amount used in the 2008 Beijing Olympics across 3 miles of coastline and 400 balconies
