Aberdeen Performing Arts has won a national PR award following the re-opening of Aberdeen’s Music Hall.
The Music Hall Stepping In campaign, was carried out in conjunction with the BIG Partnership in the lead up to the re-opening of the Music Hall in December last year following a three year, £9m restoration project, was named outright winner in the Arts, Culture or Sport category in a ceremony at Glasgow’s Radisson Blu Hotel on Thursday, October 3.
The campaign promoted the re-opening of the Music Hall, and was designed to create a buzz and excitement around the venue for the Stepping In Day – a day-long programme of free community-focussed events and performances.
The CIPR Scotland PRide Awards are hosted annually, and is the biggest PR awards dinner outside of London, as well as a highlight of the Scottish social calendar.
Aberdeen Performing Arts director of marketing and Communications Leah Hodder said: “We are so proud of our team for their achievements, and we are delighted to accept this award along with The BIG Partnership. The Music Hall restoration project was a huge undertaking for Aberdeen Performing Arts, and we are immensely proud of what we achieved.
