Big Picture Snaps Up Cultural Branding Award

Audiences Central, BBC West Midlands and Jessops were last night celebrating snapping up the Cultural Branding Award at the prestigious Arts and Business ceremony for their inspiring and impactful partnership on The Big Picture arts project.

The Big Picture would not have been possible without the sustained support of the key partners involved. The Cultural Branding Award, sponsored by Clarke Associates, was awarded to the partnership that best reinforces the branding and marketing activity of business through the use of culture.  

Kerry Endsor, Project Manager for the Big Picture Arts Project says:‘I am delighted that all the hard work, generosity and time put into this amazing project by BBC West Midlands and Jessops has culminated in this award. There are so many positive elements and partnerships that have been integral to this project that cannot be mentioned and I also dedicate this award to those supporters, the Audiences Central team and the people of the West Midlands without which none of this would be possible’‘ 

Ni Singh Chief Executive of Audiences Central says:“The Big Picture was a complex, challenging and rewarding project and we are overjoyed to be the recipient of this prestigious award.  The Big Picture allowed us to share and connect with the memories and feelings of thousands of people across the West Midlands and we are currently working on ways of developing further work that encourages people to engage with the arts and culture. . I would also like to add a special thanks to Kerry Endsor our project manager who worked tirelessly with the Audiences Central Team throughout this project”
