The CN Agency Awards 2021 Event

 

About the event

The CN Agency Awards 2021 took place on 22 July 2021 at the spectacular Tobacco Dock London. The theme for the event was ‘Alice in Wonderland’, with attendees arriving dressed for a curious and whimsical adventure. They were greeted by the Mad Hatter, Alice, and the mischievous Cheshire Cat.

Guests enjoyed a networking drinks reception in the Tobacco Dock Courtyard before being welcomed into the main hall for the awards ceremony, where editor Martin Fullard took to the stage to present the Pioneer Award to Rick Stainton, Founder and Group Executive Director of Smyle.

Attendees then sat down to a three-course meal, accompanied by a magical performance from Event Trees, before the remainder of the awards were presented. The celebrations continued at Tobacco Dock’s Skyline Bar, where guests enjoyed complimentary drinks under the summer sun.
