July 2006 & 2007
Client outcomes
To recognise and reward internal departments of BBC Worldwide Magazines for their achievements that year. To motivate staff by providing a high profile and entertaining event which also gives each department the opportunity to network and see the projects others have been working on.
The solution
The launch of this new event in 2006 was held at ‘the room’ by the river. The huge success led to it being held again at ‘the room’ the following year. Fortesqueue's worked extremely closely with the BBC and the audiovisual suppliers to put together a top class awards ceremony. All aspects of the awards ceremony were organised by Fortesqueue's. Dave Gorman and Jo Brand were the compères for the event with Hed Kandi providing the music set for the after party.
The added value
The high profile nature of this event meant that the awards ceremony had to run seamlessly. This required many planning meetings, site visits and rehearsals. A team of specially chosen professionals was assigned to form the show crew. The menu was designed with the Good Food Magazine team and was delivered superbly on the night.
