Shameless Plug for Sledge...

Experiential agency, Sledge has been short listed for four awards at the 2009 Event Awards – considered the event industry’s number one award ceremony.

Sledge has been short listed for the Brand Experience Agency of the Year Award. Exemplary examples of Sledge’s work included the innocent Village Fete– a two day event for 60,000 people held in Regents Park London in August 2008, the NIVEA Visage Road show  - a nationwide experiential road show that engaged with over 100,000 people (10% over target) and the Thinkbox Televisionaries Conference – a B2B event described as “as close to perfect as it could ever be!”  by Tess Alps, CEO Thinkbox.

Sledge has also been shortlisted for The Green Award – utilising examples from their work with both innocent and O2 – especially their sustainability policies for both the inncocent village fete and the O2 Wireless festival.

Two Sledge events have been short listed for the Best Public or Outdoor Event Award – the innocent Village Fete and the Scrum on the Beach series of events for O2 that were held in five different locations nationwide in July and August 2008 and culminated in Trafalgar Square, London.

The Scrum on the Beach series of events for O2 is also short listed for the Best Brand Experience Event Award.

A panel of judges, hand-picked for their expertise, impartiality and respect within the industry, will deliberate all other categories and the winners will be announced at a prestigious award ceremony at London Hilton, Park Lane on Friday 25th September.
