The Prolific North Awards 2020: The Winners

pna-2020-twitter-cards

We hosted the first virtual Prolific North Awards last night, bringing together creatives from around the region to watch our streamed ceremony.

With broadcaster Gavin Ramjaun fronting the event, people tuned in from around the UK to find out who was going to be a winner. While we couldn’t come together in person to celebrate, we made the event as special as possible.

This year’s awards were very kindly sponsored by YouGov, who helped make the annual event a reality.
