Los Angeles, Calif. – Distinctive Assets, an LA-based
entertainment marketing company credited with beginning the marketing craze of
celebrity swag over a decade ago, will be heading back to Nashville to once again
produce the official talent gift bags and backstage gift lounge for “The 46th
Annual CMA Awards.”
“Country Music’s Biggest Night” will be held on
Thursday, Nov. 1 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville and will be broadcast
live on the ABC Television Network. The show’s presenters and performers will
be offered thank you gifts in an exclusive backstage “Gift Garden” designed
by Pam Morrison and Nashville-based Bella Baxter Special Events.
“To be
part of Country Music’s Biggest Night is thrilling,” says Distinctive Assets’
founder Lash Fary. “Last year, everyone involved had such a great time
at this event, so it is exciting to be heading back to Nashville to bring our
unique collection of brand partners to the home of Country Music. The success
our clients enjoyed last year was enhanced by the kindness of the incredible artists
we gifted. In my 14 years of creating these gift lounges, I don’t think I have
ever encountered such gracious giftees.”

About

The CMA Awards
nominees and winners are determined by the 11,000 industry professional members
of CMA, which was formed in 1958 as the first trade organization to promote an
individual genre of music. The first “CMA Awards Banquet and Show” was held
in 1967. The following year, the CMA Awards was broadcast on NBC television for
the first time – making it the longest-running annual music awards program on
network television. The show aired on NBC through 1971 and on the CBS Television
Network from 1972 through 2005. In 2006, the Awards moved to ABC which will be
the network home of the CMA Awards through 2021. “The 46th Annual CMA Awards”
is a production of the Country Music Association. Robert Deaton is the Executive
Producer, Paul Miller is the Director, and David Wild is the writer.
The special will be shot in high definition and broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P),
