USA/Europe: RWS Entertainment to Continue Growth by Acquiring The Experience Department

With yesterday’s announced acquisition of The Experience Department, in short ted, RWS Entertainment Group continues its growth trajectory, making one of Europe’s largest entertainment, AV, fitness and merchandising providers its own. The New York City-based group, which specializes in live entertainment, events and branded experiences, is thus expanding its portfolio to include additional services and offerings in the areas of design, fabrication and installation of leisure experiences, following the acquisition of the planning and design company JRA just a few months ago.

“The synergy between ted and RWS Entertainment Group opens opportunities for our team and our clients to achieve the ultimate immersive experiences on land and at sea,” said RWS Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Ryan Stana. “Our companies have an outstanding record of delivering powerful projects. Together with other RWS companies including JRA and Binder Casting, the possibilities are endless. Each client will benefit from the strength of the entire international team, elevating the guest experience while maximizing revenue.”

UK-based ted, which has offices in four countries and a 20-year history, provides full-service entertainment and programming for theater, cruise, resort and leisure destinations. From audiovisual installations and live entertainment to fitness programs and custom character creation, the company offers everything to shape the guest experience. (eap)
