The Brief:

Having previously resisted international comedy festivals, the allure of Dubai was too much to resist, and being able to arrange the performance using acta, was the cherry on top for the comedy group, who count the platform as one of their most essential tools.

The Collaboration:

Having used acta for many of their previous bookings, Sooshi Mango’s management team were keen to introduce the virtues of the platform to the general manager of the Coca-Cola Arena, Mark Jan Kar. Being an international event booking, it was essential that the arrangements surrounding the trip and performance were communicated clearly between Mark and the Sooshi team well in advance.

The additional constraints of time difference, meaning emails could slip through the cracks in the time between being sent and read, was negated by the benefits of acta, with the messaging portal containing all the communication and documentation sent between parties, available to view at any time.

Managing an international arena with so many moving parts and different departments requires us to be extra vigilant with sharing instructions and processes across all interested parties not just including talent but also in-house. - Mark Jan Kar (General Manager, Coca Cola Arena)

The Outcome:

After ironing out last minute details before the trip, such as press releases, media duties and event permits, it was time for the Sooshi Mango team to take their sell-out comedy tour to the shores of the UAE. The boys brought the house down, performing a tailor-made show specially for the occasion, and leaving the crowd eager for their next trip to the Coca-Cola Arena.

acta has provided a single interface for me to communicate all important instructions to all departments as well as individual messaging to ensure a better running event. - Mark Jan Kar (General Manager, Coca Cola Arena)
