who we are

Since launching in 2004, Main Event has traded on the strength of the experience and vision of principals Richard Bair and Solomon Sharpe. The two have been partnering since 1990 as RAS Promotions, growing patronage of events Beer Vibes and Hot Shots by 500 percent. The need for engaging brand experiences became apparent and the company was born.

 

The Main Event operation was first housed at 18 Annette Crescent with 2500 square feet and a staff complement of six people. The newly established company expanded their event production repertoire, to offer design and construction of custom-built corporate branding solutions and fostered the development of a film production unit.  The ICC World Cup Venue Selection Ceremony, "DIGIRIG" music truck and Jamaica Hope documentary are but few of the works created as a result of their  influence.

 

The company found a solid footing in the first year, on a solid foundation of product launches, movie premieres and sponsorship launches (including sponsorship of the Reggae Boyz on their Road to Germany 2000) in addition to designing and building carnival floats and trade fair booths. Within the first year, the need to serve clients more efficiently became apparent and client services and digital signage departments were added, increasing the staff to 16 employees.
