Veteran Producer Michael B. Seligman Launches Events Consultancy Outfit

LOS ANGELES: Academy Awards producer and industry veteran Michael B. Seligman has opened his own event services consultancy, clinching Chrysler as his first client.

The new division, launched under the producer’s Seligman Entertainment banner, will help produce Chrysler’s dealers’ conference in Las Vegas this September. The consultation unit will additionally work to raise the international visibility of consumer brands, corporations and nonprofit organizations.

Seligman, who has more than 300 TV producing credits spanning award shows, live variety specials, weekly series, dramatic specials, news reports and features spanning a 40-year career, will lead the new division while also continuing to oversee the company’s high-profile TV projects. He’ll spearhead the unit’s work in the development and execution of events of all types, including experiential marketing, product launches, VIP functions, benefits and luxury galas.

“With our unparalleled passion for our work, we have achieved a reputation for producing extremely high-quality and enormously popular global televised events that have become staples of American culture,” Seligman said. “Our team’s enthusiasm is reflected in the scores of events and programs we have staged over many years, from presidential inaugurals to the biggest nights in entertainment. Now we are incredibly excited to be able to extend our knowledge to many other sectors with our new consultation division and showcase all of the brilliant, exciting events surrounding global consumer brands, corporations and nonprofit organizations that are so deserving of attention.”
