on

Interactive Entertainment Group proudly announces its esteemed inclusion on the Inc. Regionals 2024: Northeast list of the fastest-growing private companies in America! Its ranking is a testament to its innovative growth and resilience in the face of industry challenges. Through pioneering high-value experiences and leveraging cutting-edge technology, the company continues to redefine corporate event engagement, setting new benchmarks for creativity and excellence in the events industry.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Interactive Entertainment Group, a trailblazer in corporate entertainment and experiential events, proudly announces its distinguished inclusion in the Inc. Regionals 2024 list, celebrating the Fastest-Growing Companies From Every Corner of the Country. Ranking at No. 96, Interactive Entertainment Group has been recognized for its exceptional growth in the Northeast region. Between 2020 and 2022, these 198 private companies had an average growth rate of 155.84 percent; by 2023, they’d also added 14,560 jobs and $15.7 billion to the region’s economy.

These past years have not only tested our adaptability but have proven our ability to lead and innovate under pressure. As we look ahead, we will continue to put our clients’ brands in the spotlight, telling their stories in the most unique and memorable ways.

“The honorees in our Inc. 5000 network are the Who’s Who of private companies. They’re energizing regional economies as they engineer the future of their industries. Learn who they are and what they do — they’ll be impacting things for a while,” said Eric Hagerman, Special Projects Editor at Inc. Media.

Already boasting three prestigious Inc. 5000 rankings in 2018, 2019, and 2020, along with a notable Inc. Regionals ranking in 2021, Interactive Entertainment Group’s latest accolade highlights its continuous growth and adaptability. The 2021 recognition was based on growth metrics from 2017 to 2019, a period not impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast, the 2024 Inc. Regionals ranking showcases the company’s remarkable recovery and growth from 2020 to 2022, a testament to its strategic pivots and innovative solutions during and post-pandemic.

With the pandemic marking a significant shift in the event industry, Interactive Entertainment Group demonstrated unparalleled agility by transitioning to virtual events. This move enabled the execution of thousands of virtual events worldwide, ranging from custom escape rooms, scavenger hunts, to trivia, helping teams stay connected during uncertain times. This period of innovation not only sustained the company’s growth but also set a foundation for a successful pivot back to live events in 2022.

2022 marked a significant milestone for Interactive Entertainment Group, with a powerful rebranding and the launch of a new website in 2023, two years in the making. This revamped online presence has made it easier than ever for event professionals to discover and book unique experiential experiences. Further solidifying its industry leadership, the company has extended its thought leadership through strategic partnerships with BizBash and Exhibitor Live. Notably, Patricia Dukofsky, the company’s Vice President, serves on the sports advisory board for BizBash, enhancing Interactive Entertainment Group’s influence in the sports marketing world.

Reflecting on the company’s journey and its bright future, Patricia Dukofsky commented, “The resilience and creativity of our team have been our greatest strengths. These past years have not only tested our adaptability but have proven our ability to lead and innovate under pressure. As we look ahead, our focus on higher-ticketed items and an increased emphasis on experiential events, including mixed reality and holographic technology, will continue to put our clients’ brands in the spotlight, telling their stories in the most unique and memorable ways.”

Interactive Entertainment Group’s rapid growth and emphasis on experiential events highlight its commitment to delivering unparalleled experiences that elevate brands and enhance events. As the company continues to expand its offerings and push the boundaries of corporate entertainment, its recognition on the Inc. Regionals 2024 list stands as a testament to its enduring impact and visionary approach to creating connections and fostering engagement.

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers. Businesses move more than $9 billion a year on licenses Sokin holds in 36+ countries and infrastructure Sokin owns. Founded in 2019, Sokin has raised over $100 million from investors including Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital and Prysm Capital.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021. In two seasons, 2020/21 and 2024/25, a domestic treble of trophies was secured.
