WINNER: Brandfuel
The past 12 months has seen Brandfuel boost its revenue by 50% and take on four new clients: ITV, Sabre, Goldman Sachs and HSBC. The agency is a small one, with a core team of 35, but along with an extended team of trusted suppliers and freelancers it delivers large-scale events across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, including One Young World.
May 2014 was its busiest month to date, with international conferences for Twitter and ITV, a futures event for Google UK and brand showcase for Google Paris, a roll-out Google House event in Zurich and the Uefa Champions League festival and gala dinner in Lisbon, among others.
It prides itself on creating innovative, enriching experiences while providing a place where people aspire to work. Within the past year it has grown its team by 25% and implemented a training programme investing up to £3,000 per person a year.
Finalists: Fisher Productions, The Fresh Group
