More Photo's from The Publican Awards 2013

Here are more photos of the highly successful barrels staging that was bespoke built for The Publican Awards 2013.

The two massive beer barrel projections to the stage had projection mapping displayed on them so that the barrels could be animated and change. The photos show examples of the projection mapping changes, but don't show you how phenomenal they really were on the night. Trust me they were amazing!

It just goes to show that if you are planning an experiential event, Corporate Events can make your off the wall ideas become a reality with our excellent creative events crew and our in-house audio visual production experts.

Corporate Events Keep Cool With ACR

Before an audience of nearly 400 guests from across the air conditioning and refrigeration industry last night, the winners of this year’s ACR News Awards were announced. The big winners of the night were WR Refrigeration and Toshiba Air Conditioning.

Corporate Events were on hand to ensure an excellent standard of set and stage design a well as high production standards.

Corporate Events Account Director Steve Jebbett comments: “Working at The Grange Tower Bridge is always interesting. Our production design for The ACR awards production made sure we considered the brand “pull through” in terms of look and feel - ensuring that guests could see continuity in the set, stage and on screen content of our audio visual production.”

Steve continues: “Another new feature that Corporate Events has introduced to the event production for this year’s awards was the introduction of bespoke architectural feature lit lettering, spelling out “Awards” - it’s a very simple but very effective way to add to the overall production values of an award production.”

Corporate Events Managing Director adds: “The ACR Awards is a great event production. The production is based around a blended widescreen delivery using our Spyder system, which gives an amazing viewing experience. This is augmented and enhanced by the outstanding and dynamic content that our in-house creative team produce.”

Guests at the Grange Tower Bridge Hotel in London were treated to an evening of entertainment and humour from presenter Rob Beckett. Rob Beckett arrived on the comedy scene in 2009, winning 4 competitions in his first year.

In 2010, Rob won The Amused Moose Laugh Off at the Edinburgh Festival, which earned him an invite to perform at comedy festivals in Australia. At this festival in Adelaide, Rob was nominated for the best newcomer award.

Rob's TV credits include Fresh Meat, Richard Bacon's Beer and Pizza Club and Geordie Shore's Mint Bits.

Corporate Events Roll Out the Barrel at The Publican Awards

More than 1,100 people attended the glittering award ceremony, the biggest event in the pub industry calendar, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel on London's Park Lane and hosted by comedian and TV star Rob Brydon.

The Publican Awards, in association with Sky, recognise the achievements of top pub companies across 18 categories.

Corporate Events designed and produced a stunning and technically innovative set and stage for the iconic London event venue that included a massive 40 feet wide blended video screen, twin LED video wall panels and two massive beer barrel shapes that formed the canvas for some exciting and innovative projection mapping.

Corporate Events technical production manager Adrian Tolson comments “We have produced the Publican Awards previously and wanted to raise the bar this year, so looked at what we could do that would resonate with the event brand and audience. Creating massive, 15 feet tall beer barrels that became a projection canvas was an interesting challenge.”

Account Manager Katie Lewis continues the theme: “When we started to look at projection mapping onto the barrels and then getting our in-house creative team to weave these into the narrative for the evening, we were very excited about how we were going to raise the production levels again this year.”

Taking projection mapping into the awards production arena is just one of the areas in which Corporate Events continue to innovate. Production manager Adrian Tolson concludes: “To add a bit more to the lighting effects, we installed 16 Chauvet Legend lighting heads on the show. These are the lights we’ve all seen on TV shows like Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor, and they add a huge impact to the overall lighting pallet on the night.”

The Publican's Morning Advertiser's group editor Rob Willock said: "The Publican Awards judging is an extensive and rigorous process which really puts businesses under scrutiny. In these challenging trading times it is fantastic to see our award winners continuing to grow their businesses and bring innovations to their customers.

"All our winners are driving their businesses forward with energy and passion. Congratulations to them all."
