BRIEF

Grooveyard worked with the IMRO Radio Awards Committee, IMRO and the BAI to create, organise and manage the IMRO Radio Awards 2020 in a virtual setting due to the restrictions in place for Covid-19. 

The virtual awards need to be fun, entertaining and engaging to keep viewers at home tuned in and to in some way replicate the annual celebration which usually takes place in the Lyrath Estate in Kilkenny.
