Playtech claims International Corporate Event Awards win for ICE 2016
Judges describe “Outstanding event production” at ICE Totally Gaming 2016 – Playtech beats Google and BP to award
London: July 19th 2016 – Playtech, the world’s leading Omni-channel gaming software and services supplier, has triumphed over international technology and energy giants Google and BP to claim the prize of ‘Most Effective Agency Collaboration’ at this year’s prestigious International Corporate Event Awards.
The awards ceremony took place at the iconic Victoria and Albert Museum in central London, attended by professionals from some of the world’s biggest and most popular brands and their event agencies.
Playtech’s exceptional stand at the ICE Totally Gaming exhibition in February this year, was recognised by the judges for its “outstanding event production” with the company beating fellow contenders Google and BP.
Work began on the stand project in July last year in partnership with brand experience experts 2Heads, in order to put together an integrated, visual and experiential customer journey around the company’s pioneering Playtech ONE Omni-channel solution, and incorporating this experience into every element of design and messaging.
The Playtech ONE brand encapsulates the power of the Playtech offering that enables players to play any product, across any channel and on any device creating the ultimate customer journey for the company’s ecommerce customers.
To fuel the content-rich experience an extensive content strategy was developed from the findings recorded at brand experience workshops. Together Playtech and 2Heads creatively developed, storyboarded, scripted and produced an extensive catalogue that amounted to in more than 40 minutes of content.
This visually reflected Playtech ONE with architecture that played with perspective, and an environment that changed, evolved, engaged and drew visitors’ eyes to the heart of the space.
The gigantic 900 metre space was devised across two floors and housed the latest cutting-edge technologies including a 36-metre central screen, 92 video content screens, and hundreds of mobile and retail devices, all combining to provide an unforgettable visitor experience.
The judging panel said: “We unanimously agreed there was a clear winner. The Playtech entry consistently performed on all criteria and we were especially taken with the quality and proof of ROI and also the clarity and explanation from brief through to delivery.”
Shimon Akad, COO, Playtech, said: “The award provides fantastic recognition of all the hard work that went into designing, developing and building our stand at ICE Totally Gaming to successfully showcase our pioneering Playtech ONE offering.”
