End to end delivery of the Love Hackney Awards 2025, from nominations and logistics through to events marketing for a 150 guest ceremony across 10 categories.
The Problem
Hackney Council needed to deliver a borough wide awards ceremony recognising local heroes across 10 categories, requiring a fair and well promoted nominations process, a polished guest experience for 150 attendees and careful management of a fixed budget, all without the support of a dedicated events agency.

My Role
I managed the Love Hackney Awards 2025 end to end, running the nominations process, coordinating logistics and operations for the ceremony and leading the events marketing to drive awareness and entries across all 10 categories. This covered everything from venue and supplier coordination to guest communications and on the day delivery for 150 guests.

The Solution
By owning the project end to end, from nominations through to the final event, the awards ran as a single coherent campaign rather than a series of disconnected tasks, keeping messaging consistent for nominees, guests and stakeholders throughout.
