Welcome to another week and we’re in Awards mode this week
here at Cloud 9 Towers with three main events on the go.
Firstly, it’s the Midlands Media Awards which we run on behalf
of the Birmingham Press Club and these are scheduled for Thursday 20 October at
the Birmingham Repertory Theatre. Charlotte in the team who manages this
project is being inundated with entries and as Headline of the Year is always
one of the most popular categories, we are really looking forward to seeing
some of the entries this year following the recent referendum on the EU.
The Fresh Creative Awards which we’ve run alongside Cloud 9
for many years are also having an overhaul or a refresh if you will pardon the
pun. Although the competition in the market is fairly intense for awards in the
creative sectors, Fresh is one of the only independent programmes in the UK and
is totally integrated, covering all disciplines from Advertising through to PR.
We’ve changed the model for these awards and also split the Fresh brand down
into three core sectors with the Awards being the main platform.
The second platform is a new programme called Fresh Adventures
which follows the model that we have successful used for judging over the
years, and it’s a series of creative and inspirational trips for professionals
working in the creative and communications industries, who can connect with likeminded
people, and enjoy experiences in Europe and beyond to reignite their creativity
and passion.
The third strand of Fresh is a little under wraps for now, but
let’s just say its exciting times ahead and we look forward to sharing the news
soon.
Last and by no means least is the CHS Awards which we run for
the CHS Group and is aligned to the Conference and Hospitality Show which takes
place in Leeds each year. Year one showed just how popular the awards were and
this last year’s event which was held in April cemented the programme in the
industry, and was attended by over 250 guests in a glittering ceremony in
Manchester.
So, planning is well underway for next year and along with the
CHS Group, we have big plans for the event!
In other news this week, did you know its International Cherry
Day this coming Saturday? We thought this was a perfect opportunity to feature
a hotel (as we do) called The Cherry Hotel. Now there are an abundance of
hotels our there with names like Cherry Court, Cherry Tree, Cherry Tree and the
Golden Cherry, but not one we can find called The Cherry Hotel – and we should
know as venue finders!
In fact the only Cherry Hotel we can find is an historic hotel building located at Wilson, Wilson County, North Carolina. It was
designed by Charles Collins Benton in Beaux Arts style and built in 1917. It is
a six-story, "U"-shaped brick building with approximately 200 rooms.
The interior features a two-story lobby with Art Deco
style lighting fixtures. The hotel closed in the 1980's and was subsequently converted to apartments.
So if you can find a hotel with the correct name, we’d love to
know, just for the sheer joy of it!
Have a great week and enjoy!
