Synergy wins Sponsorship Agency of the Year

 

8 December 2009: Synergy has been recognised as the UK’s leading sponsorship consultancy after being crowned Marketing’s Sponsorship Agency of the Year for 2009.

 

Synergy scooped the prestigious award in recognition of a highly successful 2009 in which the company, which this year celebrates its’ 25th anniversary, has enjoyed a series of substantial new business wins including Betfair, Philips, Christophe Harbour and Bupa.

 

Tim Crow, CEO of Synergy said,

“We could not ask for a greater accolade from the industry in recognition of the quality of our people and our work. We’re absolutely thrilled. It’s particularly appropriate to have won this award whilst Synergy is celebrating its 25th year in business.“

 

The judging panel was full of praise for Synergy’s global work and the way that the agency ‘has overcome the challenges of 2009 by winning new business and picking up a number of major awards’. 

 

Marketing’s Sponsorship Agency of the Year is the latest in a series of awards for Synergy in 2009 which includes the MCCA Award for Best Communication Campaign featuring Sponsorship, the Sport Industry Award for the Best Sponsorship of a Sport Event or Competition and The Hollis Award for Best Brand Sponsorship (all won for Powerade’s InnerGear Olympic campaign). In addition, Karen Earl, Founder and Chairman of Synergy was last month named the inaugural winner of the Businesswoman of the Year Award at the 2009 Sunday Times Sportswomen of the Year Awards, presented to the most inspirational woman running a business within the sports industry.
