Best Overseas Conference / Event (over 1400 attendees)

Brand Brewery, DHL Americas Cup

Hosting a 2-day, 2-night football (or is it soccer?!) and cheerleading tournament in Florida for 1,750+ DHL employees from 23 countries across North, Central and South America was no mean feat. Factor in this was all conceived, scoped, produced and executed by the brand brewery team based over 4,000 miles away in London – and the whole event being a huge success – was even more of an achievement.

This submission is a recognition of the international reach and capability that this 32-person UK-based agency has, and the respect and credibility it’s gained internationally with DHL and its other multinational clients.

With brand brewery distance, culture, and logistics never get in the way of putting on the best possible events.

Primark had expanded significantly since the last global leader’s event, launching its Primark 2030: The Next Chapter strategy and new Values & Behaviours. Pluto, working with the Internal Communications team produced an inspiring, educational event to celebrate achievements while aligning, inspiring, and motivating global leaders.

Held at the Convention Centre Dublin on 29th January & 1st February 2024, the two-day event welcomed over 1,700 global guests. Given its scale, we needed to create impact across both days. The main auditorium hosted stakeholder addresses and keynotes, ensuring alignment among all attendees. Beyond this, guest engagement was the highest priority, with networking opportunities enabling new colleagues to connect.

To maximize engagement, we transformed the venue with breakout spaces across all available spaces. These featured talk tracks, business updates, interactive demos, workshops, and meet-and-greets with brand collaborators. A highlight was the 20-minute immersive journey, taking guests through the brand’s vision. The event also included a surprise music performance and an exclusive Spring/Summer Fashion Show, creating a high-energy, celebratory atmosphere.

By blending strategic updates with interactive experiences, the event successfully engaged and motivated Primark’s leaders for their Next Chapter.
