Anna Valley helps deliver the 2021 CN Agency Awards
On the 22nd of July the events industry gathered at Tobacco for the 2021 CN Agency Awards. But the event was so much more than an awards ceremony. This was one of the first unrestricted events of 2021 and, after an incredibly tough year, an opportunity to celebrate the industry’s indomitable spirit.

For Anna Valley, it was also the first industry event that we have supported at Tobacco Dock since we were chosen as the iconic venue’s audio-visual partner, and the first event we’ve delivered for Mash Media since partnering with the publisher and event organiser.
As the official production partner for the 2021 CN Agency Awards, Anna Valley provided full audio-visual support for the awards, including a massive, curved LED wall that acted as the backdrop for a curious collection of Alice-in-Wonderland-inspired entertainment and for the awards presentation. We expanded our presence at the event by sponsoring both the drinks reception and the Best Small Agency of the Year award category.
The fact that Tobacco Dock have put on an event like this with the help of Anna Valley is amazing. We’ve taken a huge step up this year, we’ve really pushed it…the audience reaction and the feedback I’ve had on site has just been brilliant. The future is this, the future is our industry getting back together and meeting again…if we can keep doing shows like this in the future, as long as they’re safe and following all procedures, this is where the industry is going to go.
Jack Newey, portfolio director for Conference News
It’s this kind of safe, considered controlled environment that is actually going to take us out of this rather than put us back in. And I think using professional event organisers, professional production companies, that’s the way we’re going to build out of this.
Russel Allen, founder of Crescendo
It’s been so good to have a live audience of scale back in the venue again. It’s a cause of celebration as we are coming back with a bang! Momentum is building all the time and an event like this really helps to bring confidence back.
Jonathan Read, commercial director at Tobacco Dock
To be here at Tobacco Dock, where we partner with their great team, at a time when the industry is re-emerging at a pace…it’s just incredible. Working with Mash Media on such a landmark event, after what’s been an incredibly tough year in 2020, is a fantastic partnership and we’re so pleased to be working with them.

The 2021 CN Agency Awards were a resounding success, attracting some of the best talent in the industry and marking an enthusiastic return to live events. We’re looking forward to helping Mash Media create the next industry event on 1&2 September when Anna Valley will deliver five of the theatres across International Confex, the PA Show and the Publishing Show.
