Armed with a new product that has the ability to view multiple screens at once, FTV set out to match appropriate talent with this new device. Fashion designer Zac Posen and Great Gatsby director Baz Luhrmann, were both brought in to represent the fashion and entertainment industries and host the festivities. Next, FTV booked press-worthy TV stars including Debra Messing and Tracy Morgan, then rounded out the guest list with young fashionable starlets including Anna Kendrick, Kelly Osbourne & Camilla Belle. As a linchpin, FTV secured model-of-the-moment Kate Upton to attend as well.

“Working with Flying Television was one of the best decisions we ever made. They made our lives so much easier and helped get our brand the recognition it needed to take us to the next level. I can’t imagine not working with the team from FTV now, as they have become a crucial part of our business.”
