Happy New Year!

Dennis Gelbaum Returns to ramp it up entertainment

Dennis Gelbaum Returns to ramp it up entertainment.

After spending the past year as the Chief Operating Officer and Executive Creative Director of Input Group, North America, one of the largest event companies in the world, Dennis has returned to lead ramp it up entertainment through 2014 and beyond.


ramp it up entertainment is a full service creative boutique and brand experience agency and multimedia production company. He also created Production Concierge Services – connecting corporations and agencies to the multimedia production industry with the finest pre-production, production and post-production services and resources in the world and providing clients with access to an in-house, full service, industry focused travel and incentive agency.


Dennis will lead and manage teams of creative, production, business development and logistical strategists. "From the theatrical to the practical, a single speaker to a symphony orchestra, hundreds of performers simultaneously juggling power tools while riding unicycles, suspending seventy-five feet long dragon kites from the ceiling of a 10 story atrium, to projecting laser/animated images onto the sides of buildings, I bring a little magic to each and every event I produce."


Dennis works with clients all over the world, collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams to conceive and execute brand funded content and interactive branding experiences for two to tens of thousands of participants. Dennis has directed and/or produced hundreds of commercials, promos, trailers, music videos, live multimedia interactive events (concerts, tours, festivals, meetings, product introductions, in-store promotions and museum exhibits), corporate awareness and fundraising films/videos and hours of long & short form programming and content for theatrical release, broadcast, web and mobile. “I’ve often been described as being an innovator, out of the box thinker, superior leader and manager. (LOL) I am all those things as well as being fearless when it comes to creating, presenting, selling, planning and executing. I re-imagined the box and now there isn’t one!”

Our first project for 2014 - Kingonomics event on January 9-11th in Atlanta, GA! Other stops include Austin, Detroit, Oakland, Charlotte and Washington, DC. The events bring together experts in business and investments and entrepreneurs from across the United States and around the world where participants will converge live-in-person and online to learn, engage, connect, collaborate and participate in a diversity and inclusion initiative between One Three Media, Mark Burnett Productions and Kingonomics to assure that more companies of color have the opportunity to audition for and pitch on ABC's Shark Tank. Even more than a cutting-edge event, Kingonomics is an experience that leaves you enlightened, exposed, enabled and ready to embrace the entrepreneurial life. Participants expect a fully immersive learning and creative experience, where timely knowledge will come from thought leaders who grace our platform, or the person sitting in the seat right next to a participant.



Dennis will also be focusing on the company he established in 2009, Production Concierge Services – connecting corporations and agencies to the multimedia production industry with the finest production and post-production services and resources in the world. "And through our partner, Frenchway Travel, we can provide clients with access to an in-house, full service, industry focused travel agency."
