Client Focus: UKSV
Project

The Client

Background
  • Communication and Event Production Agency
  • Specialises In Live, Virtual, & Digital events
  • Create Memorable Events
A specialised creative communication and event production agency based in Ringwood.

UKSV, based in Ringwood, Hampshire, is a multi-award-winning creative communication and event production agency specialising in live, virtual, and digital events, with more than 30 years of experience. They are passionate about producing events that are captivating, exciting, innovative, and memorable and that exceed their client’s expectations.

The Background

From our previous collaboration
  • Silver In The EVCOM Awards
  • Distributing Press, Blogs and Social Media Content
  • Reproached in 2022
A relationship in place since 2018

UKSV first approached Darren Northeast PR in 2018 when they wanted to enter a national prestigious industry award – EVCOM, the Event and Visual Communication Association, – which celebrates the work of film, video, digital and live events. This was the first time UKSV had attempted to enter an Award. We spent significant time with them really getting to know the company and its ethos and gaining an understanding of their technical expertise which we could then describe in non-technical terms. On the basis of the information we’d gathered, we composed the award application and submitted it for them. Not only did they reach the finals of this national award, an achievement in itself, they came away with Silver, a tangible recognition of their excellence.

Over the next 18 months to two years, we continued to work with UKSV on a variety of PR activities including writing and distributing press releases, blogs and social media content. The onset of Covid and lockdowns, which really impacted the live events industry, interrupted our working relationship.

In 2022, UKSV once again approached DNPR. Having organised a unique highly-successful hybrid event for one of their clients, a major biopharmaceutical company, UKSV had identified a number of Awards for which they wished to enter their event. Due to our past success on their behalf, and our excellent reputation for our Awards service, they asked us to write their applications.

The Brief

Our Objectives
  • Produce Eye Catching, Engaging Applications
  • Stand Out From Other Applications
  • Appeal To The Judges
  • Showcase And Demonstrate Their Excellence
Produce clear, engaging, and award-winning nominations for a variety of prestigious awards.

Our brief was to produce interesting, easy-to-read, clear and engaging entries for UKSV’s event for submission to a number of prestigious industry awards, adapting and tailoring each application to meet the criteria of individual categories.
The awards and categories were:

  • UK Agency Awards: Internal Communications Event of the Year
  • C & IT (Conference and Incentive Travel) Awards:
    • Pharma and Healthcare Event of the Year
    • Internal Communications Event of the Year
  • CN (Conference News) Agency Awards: Technical Production Team of the Year
    • Creative Team of the Year
    • David and Goliath Award
    • Internal Communications Agency of Year

The Results

Secured awards
  • Gold in The Agency Awards
  • Awaiting the CN Agency Awards Results
Every application has reached the finals and we are awaiting more good news...

Awards are important. They are a clear, visible and public recognition of excellence that raises company morale, offers reassurance to potential and established clients, and is respected by industry. 

At the time of writing, every UKSV application has reached the Awards finals. These are all national awards, each one attracting hundreds of entries from across the UK. For each application to reach the finals is a remarkable achievement and is a clear endorsement of UKSV.  The finals of the C&IT Awards and The Agency Awards have already taken place. UKSV did not win either of their categories in the C&IT Awards. However, they came away with a well-deserved Gold in The Agency Awards, news which generated considerable coverage in regional media.  The finals of the CN Agency Awards take place in London very soon. We are keeping everything crossed. Watch this space!
