"Our combined creative, production and technical skill-sets ensure we are able to go above and beyond with brilliant events to drive campaigns and content."
Jonathan Emmins, founder of Amplify, added: "Amplify has had another successful 12 months, including 12 pitch wins including Google, and Activision, and being named Event’s Brand Experience Agency of the Year.
"This growth has included European and international expansion, as we see over 50% of our production now happening outside the UK.
