pncatop

The winners of the Prolific North Champions Awards were revealed last night in a spectacular return to live events for the creative and digital sector.

Hosted at The Point, Lancashire County Cricket Club, the Champions Awards brought together industry figures of all levels to celebrate and socialise at a fantastic evening compered by Hits Radio presenter and DJ Hattie Pearson.

Those in attendance enjoyed a three-course meal before the awards presentation got underway. After this, the party started – with entertainment running late into the night.

The Prolific North Champions Awards celebrated talent across the sector, recognising brilliant companies, teams, platforms, campaigns and individuals. The first of the Prolific North Awards season, they are followed by the Tech Awards in October, and the Marketing Awards in November.

Special thanks must go to Associate Sponsor Brewin Dolphin, along with Category Sponsors Boutique, Netsells, Metricomm, YouGov, Chief and AgencyNXD, as well as the illustrious panel of judges.
