Mikail
Samuels, Youthlink Writer
Monumental
Partners Limited, with an executive team comprising
five persons, specialises in all things business related,
including strategic planning, marketing, web development,
Internet marketing and branding strategy.
This
year, they will be closely monitoring the fast-approaching
Smirnoff Dream Weekend, because the team serves as marketing
and business development consultants for Sentry Security
Service, which holds firm to the creed, 'security with
a difference'.
Christopher
Goulbourne (CG) and Khalil Harris (KH) explain their
connection to and responsibilities regarding the Smirnoff
Dream Weekend.
Youthlink
(YL): What does your job at Monumental Partners Limited
entail?
CG:
Well, I am the marketing and business development consultant.
KH:
I deal with the marketing aspect of the business.
YL:
What's the link between Monumental Partners Limited
and Sentry Security Service Limited?
Both:
We are the marketing consultants for the company. We
deal with all the marketing and business development
needs, which include branding them, promoting their
goods and their services and advertising the company.
When it comes to Sentry Security Services, we look after
their PR needs.
YL:
What will your duties be at the Smirnoff Dream Weekend
parties?
Both:
Well, our duties involve being the public relations
representatives and overseeing all the promotional activities
in which Sentry will be taking part.
YL:
For such a huge event, does the security team get support
from other groups such as the police?
Both:
Well, of course. The nature of the event would call
for assistance from other security teams. Sentry only
deals with one aspect of security detailing for the
weekend, guarding the patrons. The promoters will have
to seek help from elsewhere to deal with other matters.
YL:
How often do you liaise with the promoters about the
events?
CG:
Well, for such an event as this, it requires constant
dialogue with the party promoters. It also requires
long hours at various meetings to discuss the site location,
the security teams and the rules and regulations for
the weekend.
YL:
What is the most prevalent problem faced at these parties?
KH:
I would have to say crowd control. At an event like
this, the crowd will be huge and that sometimes makes
it difficult to control some of the happenings at the
party.
CG:
I must say that we are aware that persons out there
are planning to do things at this year's Smirnoff Dream
Weekend parties, and we are prepared to put a stop to
it before it even starts.
YL:
What's the one thing you are expecting to happen at
the parties to separate it from all the others?
Both:
We believe the event is better organised and the security
team is ready to do it, and do it well.
YL:
What is the one thing you have to say to the patrons
who will be attending this event?
Both:
Act responsibly and be careful.
