Thomas Serrano, President of Havas Events NA, wrote a tribute to Aretha Franklin from his time working with the artist on a special project. "I decided to pay tribute to Aretha Franklin through some personal anecdotes.
As I was in her room - listening to her rehearsing some songs wit her CD player - and asking me for my opinion (really - who am I to tell her anything ! it was an unreal moment to be honest) - I took my chance and asked her against the will of her producer if she would accept for the last song (New York- New York) to have all the young singers from the previous performance to join her on stage and finish singing the song with her.
She said immediately “yes” and it was quite obvious that she was happy to do so and I did thank her for that at that moment - telling her that those up comic talents will be thrilled when I tell them at the next rehearsal.
I was then happy to report the news to her producer who asked me nicely to ask her again next time I will have a conversation with her, so I did and got immediately the same “yes” again. Happy to report the news to her producer again, he told me that maybe my accent and or my english was an obstacle and could not believe me. Believe me, it did happen, she understood well the first time, it was so kind and generous of her - everyone on stage was so enthusiastic and it made everyone’s day on stage, back stage and in the room.
Thank You Aretha, this moment will stay for ever in my mind..."

Thomas Serrano, President of Havas Events NA, wrote a tribute to Aretha Franklin from his time working with the artist on a special project. "I decided to pay tribute to Aretha Franklin through some personal anecdotes.
As she walking down the lobby of her hotel in NYC counting steps with me to figure out exactly the length of the up coming stage for her next performance for
a client of ours, she tried to convince to have a piano on stage...
I knew that the broadway show happening prior was not going to be happy with that in the middle of an already pretty small stage to be fair...
But she insisted and we compromised on the size of the piano to make it happen.
I was so ignorant at that point that I was expecting her to give me the name of her pianist for me to make sure we are all set with him too - but as you may all know ! - she was also a very talented pianist and it was the best decision ever for this performance.
As she started to sing, her personal sound engineer was covering her voice too much for my taste and when came the time for her to sit down behind the piano and start singing, this is where we all realized that at 73 years old - with no artifice - she could still win any crowd thanks to her unique and beautiful voice and she did!
Thank You Aretha, this moment will stay for ever in my mind..."

Our Eating & Innovation themed dinner this past Tuesday in Pittsburgh was a success! Guests had the opportunity to interact in a collective dining experience with food design by In The Mouth The evening’s dinner was created with some of the latest algorithms and artificial intelligence, each proposing different ways to think about food and food systems.
