Putting the Media in the Spotlight

We were delighted to be a part of the 2013 Coca Cola CIPR Media Awards last Friday night- celebrating the cream of our local print, broadcast and online media. Sponsoring the Broadcast Journalist of the Year Award, Morrows attended the buzzing event at The Mac Belfast basking in the evening sunshine.
Hosted by Eamonn Holmes, the theater style event was a fresh approach on the 20 year old awards ceremony. It was fantastic to see new talent such as Sara Girvan and the Cool FM breakfast team winning gold on the night as well as seasoned reporters such as Anne Hailes who claimed the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Special congratulations go to Claire Savage from the BBC who picked up our sponsored category for Broadcast Journalist of the Year. The judges said Claire was a 'polished reporter who always finds the connections' - we couldn't agree more and were delighted to present the gong to her on the evening.

Congrats also to the CIPR NI committee for hosting another great night allowing our local media to be recongised, applauded and, most importantly, let down their hair to celebrate!

Cool FM’s Jingle Ball Rocked!

Morrow Communications’ client, Cool FM last week filled the Odyssey to the rafters with thousands of screaming pop fans for the first ever Cool FM Jingle Ball Live. Thousands poured into the arena to witness the biggest pop gig Belfast has ever seen - a line-up which included JLS, Matt Cardle, Labrinth, Amelia Lily, Misha B, Ryan O'Shaughnessy, Stooshe, Lawson and Joe McIlderry and Morrow’s own pop svengali, Marty Byrne was backstage taming the press pack in an exclusive media room

The press conference-style backstage media room brought together a host of glamorous showbiz reporters and some slightly less glamorous press photographers for quickfire questions and photos just before the artists took to the stage. The media room ran very smoothly despite some extraordinary wardrobe choices, demands for better refreshments and a dash of diva behaviour (and that was just the journalists).

Morrows were involved with Jingle Ball Live from the beginning, organising media partnerships with local press titles, celeb interview pieces, ticket giveaways, social media and crisis management consultancy as well as management of the backstage press area. With the event being hailed as a huge success, we’re already looking forward to Cool FM’s Jingle Ball Live 2013!

Love is in the air...

Morrow Communications Event Manager, Jane Irwin today appeared in the popular “First Person” interview column in the Belfast Telegraph, as part of Morrow Communication’s ongoing work with CoolFM. Jane became lucky in love when she joined CoolFM’s dating site and is now happily engaged to her beau, Sam Watson, who she met through the site. The interview recounts Jane’s experience of the online dating scene, why she chose CoolFM’s dating service and how her relationship with Sam blossomed from that first online message.

We at Morrow couldn’t be happier when we heard news of Jane’s engagement and knowing Jane, the wedding is going to be one spectacular and well organised event!
