PARTNERING WITH PRESTIGE

Since its inception in 2003, Prestige Events magazine has been a pioneer in portraying the most charismatic events venues from around the globe. It fills the gap left by other corporate trade magazines to focus on high-quality design, the unusual and the truly exciting aspects of the events industry!

2007 saw the launch of Prestige Events magazine’s annual COOL Venues Awards: a celebration profilingthe UK’s COOLest venues in 20 categories - judged by a panel of industry peers.Since then the Prestige Events brand has gone from strength to strength and allows us to offer our key partners much more of our expertise.

2009 saw thesuccessful launch of Prestige Events’ ‘Venue Launchpad Service’ – a chance to re-launch a venue to all-important buyers. We offer a proven 360-degree event management service and industry professionals. We use our qualified subscriber lists of corporate and agency buyers as well as your database to create the guest list, do all pre-event liaising and marketing. We will plan the theme or decoration, music, badges and registration, entertainment if required etc. On the day our dedicated event manger will run the event so that representatives from the host venue are free to network and make the most of their face to face client time.

Our portfolio has seen successful re-launches for clients including:

·      Il Bottaccio (famed for Gucci, Armani, and London Fashion Week shows) www.bottaccio.co.uk

·      Amika (Best Club in London Bar / Club Awards2008) www.amikalondon.com

·      The David Beckham Academy (well, if a David Beckham venue needs our help, surely we can help you too!) www.thedavidbeckhamacademy.co.uk

 Our unique package is backed-up by supporting post-event editorial coverage and advertising in Prestige Events magazine and Londonlaunch.com, guaranteeing your venue reaches over 100,000 UK corporate events organisers. In addition we have the options of blog and newsletter coverage pre and post launch to appeal to buyers using social media networking as well.

Post-recession things are looking better for the events industry, but too many venues have lost the connection between buyers and the knowledge of their product. Now is the time to re-launch to a recovering industry and remind them why your venue is the place to be!

The ‘Venue Launchpad’ service is also perfect to coincide with re-branding or a website launch or redesign to bring a cohesive marketing image to the industry. Venues using our re-launch service will receive full databases from the night for follow-up, editorial coverage as mentioned, and a raised profile in the industry!

Recommended numbers –minimum 100 people – 400 people

Lead-time – usually two months to begin invite campaign and all logistics, but we can also offer a bespoke service for specific events.

Suggested style –receptions and parties work well and draw the most buyers for after-work events.
