Winning Best Event Agency is a proud milestone for First Event. Awards provide an opportunity to step back from the pace of delivery, reflect on the work and recognise the contribution of the people behind it. They also give the team an external benchmark for the creativity, strategic thinking and operational expertise it brings to clients’ events.

Stephanie CawoodSenior Marketing Manager, First Event

Winner

Being shortlisted across three categories is a brilliant reflection of the standard our team holds itself to every single day. This isn’t recognition for one campaign or one person. It’s recognition for the way the whole agency works together across search, so I couldn’t be prouder of the team.

Luke HodgkinsFounder & CEO, Rise Up

Shortlisted

Being shortlisted for the Emerging Talent Award has given me an opportunity to reflect on just how much I’ve learned in a relatively short period of time. It has made me even more excited about what I can do next, the ideas I can develop and where I can take my career within B2B communications.

Eloise ShentonSocial Media Manager, Spa Communications
