Ascot Racecourse, ATP, ICC, F1, R&A, Southampton FC, Wimbledon and UEFA – whose industry-leading impact was reviewed by over 50 international judges – were all recognized for their work over the last 12 months, and innovations developed in response to Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions.
This included, in the Content Creation category, The Open for the Ages – a broadcast product developed by the R&A that imagined a Championship contested by the legends of the sport, featuring 50 years of archive footage woven together with modern graphics and new commentary.
Two Circles worked closely with The R&A to syndicate digital content from The Open for the Ages to media platforms across the globe, also reporting on the scale of engagement with the global audience and the direct impact on revenue streams such as eventday hospitality and e-commerce.
