Our events, PR, creative and digital experts are joining forces for The Celebration of Learning and Skills Success (Class) Awards. The combined expertise of our team enables us to deliver a high impact, integrated campaign which will culminate in the region’s biggest awards ceremony.

Following four successful years working on The CoLaS Awards, delivered on behalf of the Learning and Skills Council, we knew that there was a demand an awards ceremony dedicated to learning and skills in the region and we knew it had to continue.

Armed with a proposal, we approached One North East, Business Link North East and NEFEA (North East Federation of Enterprise Agencies) who saw merit in our plan and showed their support with all important sponsorship to turn the idea into reality.

And so, the 2010 ceremony will see over 1400 guests enjoy a spectacular ceremony at the Sage Gateshead on 23 April 2009. The region’s business leaders will join key employers, politicians, journalists, representatives from education and the families and friends of the nominees for an evening of entertainment and recognition of achievement.

Our Studio created the logo and web design and passed it to our Digital Team for build. The results are www.theclassawards.co.uk
