Entertaining Asia

Hong Kong's events, entertainment and hospitality trades are the territory of Entertaining Asia, a consultancy that has advised on projects across Asia for more than twenty years. Its work spreads over several linked services, so a client can use one or combine several for the same event.

Planning and running events from start to finish

The company offers project management for events from the first brief to the final day, and counts corporate events among its regular work. It also advises venues and operators in the event and hospitality industries who want to stand out in a crowded market. Past project work shown on its site includes production for a months-long exhibition at a Hong Kong arts and retail complex and launch parties for retail brands.

Booking performers and managing their visas

Entertaining Asia says it has built a wide network of acts in Hong Kong and abroad, and uses it to handle entertainment bookings for venues and events. A separate team manages visas for visiting artists. The visa consultants report over eighteen years of experience with performing artists, covering both short engagements and longer-term ones in Hong Kong. The firm also arranges tour management for artists travelling in Asia.

Marketing for restaurants, bars and events

The marketing side works to a client's set budget and aims to reach the intended audience through social media, two online publications that the company runs, and offline channels. Restaurant and bar marketing is listed as its own service, and the firm also provides photography and video, which feed into those campaigns.

Where it works

The company is based in Hong Kong and serves clients in Hong Kong and Macau, as well as projects further afield. Its site describes the whole offer as a consultancy for the event, entertainment and hospitality industries, with a media and marketing arm sitting alongside the consultancy.
