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."

Corporate Events Produce a Creative Event for ISPY Conference and Awards Dinner

Corporate Events have just produced another outstanding creative event production, this time in The Brighton Hilton Metropole.

With up to 50 airlines, 100 cabin crew and 30 of the leading Inflight Retail Suppliers to ISPY, the excitement and anticipation for this year's ISPY conference and awards dinner was at an all time high. The registration figures lead us to believe that ISPY2013 is going to beat all previous attendance records.

ISPY is like no other conference, trade show, training, or staff recognition event, because it is all of these rolled into one. They have great training sessions, conferences and workshops and product showcases for all delegates throughout the week and everyone joins in the celebration of excellence within this industry at the Friday night Gala Awards Ceremony.

Corporate Events work with the ISPY management team to design, produce and deliver a seamless conference and gala dinner production that reflects and enhances the communication strategy behind the event.

There is a lot of talk about the benefits of Airlines sending a 'delegation' (consisting of best selling crew, performance management and buyers) to ISPY. The key benefit being the opportunity to come together & meet and interact with the Suppliers. Corporate Events whole heartedly believe that when all stakeholders work together it will make a difference to development of the airline's sales culture.

That is why the ISPY event is unique.

Corporate Events client account manager Katie Lewis comments "Working on the ISPY event is a unique challenge and one we readily embrace. The mix of sales conference, education seminars and then a massive and opulent gala dinner production create a real sense of community around the delegates."

Technical Production Manager Adrian Tolson adds "It's nice to be working in Brighton again - and producing something at this scale is always interesting. Our creative content team has - once again - produced some real eye popping graphics."

The final word goes to Corporate Events Managing Director Andy Ashely, who concludes "It's great to see Park Lane awards production standards can be ported to anywhere in the world, and I think this year's ISPY production looked fantastic."

David x 2 In Creative Role

Corporate Events have added another David to their growing creative studio headcount.

Joining Dave Haslop's creative team at Corporate Events is David Karn, a seasoned professional presentation designer.

With over 20 years in the graphic design industry, David has creative experience of many aspects of the business including design for print, exhibition graphics, corporate identity and conference support.
Corporate Events Commercial Director Tim Christian comments: "There is a huge gulf between someone who can pick up PowerPoint and edit a slide, to a real creative slide designer, both in terms of technical competence and creative ability.

Conferences and award dinners are a method of communication, and in these difficult commercial times, it is vital that our clients messaging and communication stand out from all the other noise and distractions around them. It is important that this message isn't compromised and left in the hands of people not skilled in the discipline.

That's why Corporate Events has taken the bold investment move of recruiting the best in their field."

Creative Director at Corporate Events David Haslop adds: "It's all too easy to pick up a laptop and call yourself a PowerPoint designer, but without training and education in the core disciplines of color, typeography and composition, the output tends to be a bit flat."

"We've known David for a while and his ability to work closely with clients on-site during an event production has given him a huge advantage in better understanding their needs."

Tim Christian concludes: "When you consider some of our clients above the line agency relationships and marketing strategies, it's vital that Corporate Events can offer a creative package that works to that level of skill and understanding. We can provide a real pull through of message and communication styles that compliments and enhances the core call to action within the overall creative, making a Corporate Events production more effective. Only by investing in our creative team can we ensure that content we create will deliver the clients message in an event environment."
