We are pleased to announce that our daytime events campaign for the Royal Opera House has won the Silver Award in the Best Digital Marketing Campaign category in the 2013 Meeting Industry Marketing Awards (MIMAs). The announcement and presentation was made earlier this evening at the Awards Dinner at the Novotel in Hammersmith.

We would like to put on record a big thank you to the Royal Opera House venue marketing team for awarding us this major project. And, of course, another big thank you to the judging panel. Whilst this is a very special award for us, we are proud to have a track record of MIMA wins in 2011 and 2012 for our work with long-term venue clients, One Great George Street and Victory Services Club. Our winning association with Royal Opera House this year continues that run.

The creative brief was to create a conceptual and meaningful digital marketing campaign aimed at venue bookers for daytime events at Royal Opera House. Not only did we deliver a truly unique and inspiring campaign but, more importantly, the campaign was immediately successful, generating increased enquiry and booking numbers.
