A few weeks ago, I discovered the Waouuu agency during their first event. The welcome, the organization, the place and the quality of the artists greatly impressed me. The exhibition highlighted the artist " "Precocious Child " at the 193 Gallery in the 11th arrondissement of Paris.
The musical atmosphere was captivating . The melodies in the background added an extra dimension to the discovery of the works of art.
This experience allowed me to take a greater interest in the founder of this agency.
Dany: Tell us about yourself?
My name is Edgar Pensy and I am a 360-degree artist. I work in the cultural and creative industries, including fashion, music, film and art.
Dany: Why did you choose this field of activity?
Edgar: From the moment I was born, my parents listened to a mix of Michael Jackson, Eboa Lotin and Marvin Gaye. I am a composer at heart, creating melodies from a very young age. In addition, I have always had an interest in fashion. My grandmother and mother were seamstresses. Later, I discovered art, an opportunity to travel through works.
Dany: How did you go about organizing this event?
Edgar: To organize the event, I used my public relations hat within Waouuu Agency . My approach is to bring together exceptional people around a project. The 193 Gallery entrusted me with managing the PR part of the opening of the Oasis d'abondance “Enfant Précoce” exhibition. What particularly touched me was the spotlight on artists from the South. So I raised awareness among my network so that they would come and discover these magnificent works.
Dany? Tell us about your future prospects?
I am working on different projects, including the Cannes Film Festival. Then, a festival with Cameroonian creative youth, and my own EP project (a mini-album), where I have already recorded a few tracks and I feel ready! (laughs).
Dany: What advice could you give to build an event well?
Edgard: Here are some essential tips:
Start by understanding the client's expectations and goals.
What messages should be conveyed?
The target, and the budget.
Come up with creative ideas that fit the needs.
Personalize every aspect of the event according to its identity and values.

A great team, passionate, competent, solid to manage production, reception and services.

Cocktails and tastings. That’s it!
Don't forget to smile and enjoy every moment.
Thank you Edgard for answering my questions.
Your enthusiasm is contagious and I wish you the best for your businesses.
What I take away from this interview is the opportunities.
Participating in the Cannes Film Festival is a prestigious event. Whether it is to present music, art, or simply immerse yourself in the cinematic atmosphere, it is a springboard to international recognition.
The Festival with Cameroonian creative youth is a great initiative.
Young talents need platforms to express themselves and connect.
