Agency Clive has won ‘Best Event Management Company’ at the 2019 Event Industry Awards.
The award ceremony, which was held at Dublin’s Citywest Hotel on Friday 19 of July, celebrated the best of the best in the event management industry. In total 27 awards were given out on the night, and along with Frankie Sheehan’s award for ‘Outstanding Contribution to the Events Industry’, the ‘Best Event Management Company’ category was one of the most coveted awards of the night.
Clive were winners in a very tough category, with seven event management agencies trying to win the title of Best Event Management Company in Ireland. Commenting on the win Gavin Downes, Head of Strategy at Clive, said “It really is a great honour to be recognised for all the hard work, creativity, innovation and operational excellence we’ve delivered over the past year. As an agency that is only two years old in Ireland, we are building something very special, we have a superb team, world class supplier partners and a client roster that we are extremely proud of. A massive thank you to all of them, the other agencies in our category, the judges and the extended team at Citywest for putting on such a great awards show.”
With over 14 years pedigree in the UK market, Clive formally launched their Dublin office in July 2017, and also recently launched their NYC office to more efficiently service their increasing demand from US clients. The experiential agency’s services already span the globe; however, these new hubs will continue to ensure accounts in the region are provided with improved services, closer working relationships and even more streamlined account management.
Commenting on the win for the Irish team, Jon Reid, regional director of Clive EMEA said: “This is a huge testament to the work of the Irish team, our Creative Studio and our extended partner network. We are really committed to building on the success of what the Irish Team has achieved in such a short time, while we continue to deliver exceptional work for our clients and diversify our service offering in Dublin, London and across the entire EMEA region.”
