Events agency DRPG showed live events are back on the agenda as it helped Wolverhampton Wanderers celebrate the season’s achievements.
The event was the end of season awards for the club, which, in pre-Covid times, would have been attended by a mixture of players, sponsors and fans. However, due to the pandemic and following guidelines, this had to be limited to the club sponsors only.
But by using mixed modes of delivery, including pre-recorded messages from the players, DRPG was able to help create a united atmosphere so nobody had to miss out.
The event included a drinks reception and a sit-down dinner on tables of six with social distancing in place.
DRPG producer, Emma Stanley said: “We have quite a jam-packed week with events happening. It’s good to get back to delivering live experiences again. Although there are additional factors to consider now, everyone is glad to be producing great experiences for clients again. We are all adapting, and it’s great to be working with Wolves again, supporting with bringing their brand and club values to life.”
Wolverhampton Wanderers B2B sales manager, Julian Britton added: “As a club we are delighted to be ‘open for business’ and holding our first physical event at Molineux. Obviously, post-pandemic, our first and foremost priority is safety and DRPG have guided and assisted us all the way through the process.
“We desperately want to have all of our fantastic fans back in the stadium, but also want to make sure it’s done with safety at the forefront, and this event, which is an exclusive event for our club sponsors and partners is a really good way to test the water and ensure all of our health and safety protocols are in place and provide the security and peace of mind for all of our guests and staff.”
DRPG have manoeuvred around the pandemic and been able to help many clients with virtual solutions. This week has seen a gradual return to live experiences.
