Citytv Alcatraz Premiere
In January 2012 on a snowy Vancouver morning, a team of BBW staff donned prison jumpsuits and a warden’s uniform to promote the series premiere of the television program “Alcatraz” on Citytv. The team handed out special editions of the Metro newspaper and caught the attention of the passers-by during the morning rush hour - the “warden” blew his whistle every 15 minutes ordered his “inmates” to perform jumping jacks and push ups.

BBW was hired by Krista Slack and Associates to help deliver the front-line service at this first time ever private shopping event to celebrate the launch of the newly renovated downtown shopping venues in Calgary. The Event attracted over 5000 shoppers who were treated to an exclusive shopping experience, food and beverage, and various entertainment including a feature performance by singer songwriter, Chantal Kreviazuk. The BBW team can be seen with white top hats and various hot spots throughout the event.
BBW International as the Gatwick Girls in Vancouver
In September 2010, three members of BBW's Vancouver team were chosen to represent Gatwick Airport at the Aviation Industry's 16th World Routes Conference. This event was filmed as part of a British documentary series charting the overhaul of Gatwick Airport in response to declining passenger numbers and the adoption of fresh looks by rivals. Here you can watch the BBW 'Gatwick Girls' in action as they welcome conference delegates to Gatwick's new look trade booth.
