Fuse Sport + Entertainment, part of the Omnicom Media Group, won four major honours at the prestigious UK Sponsorship Awards held in London last night. In one of the most sought after awards of the evening, Fuse was named Sponsorship Consultancy of the Year for the second year running. Fuse Sport + Entertainment Managing Director EMEA, Mark Bullingham, was named Sponsorship Personality of the Year, and the agency’s client, HTC won the award for best Entertainment and Event Sponsorship for its creative pop up HTC One Skatepark at Selfridges. In addition, Account Manager Lucy Humphreys won the Barrie Gill Award for Most Promising Young Executive. This award was set up 12 years ago to reward outstanding young talent in the sponsorship industry.
Fuse Sport + Entertainment Managing Director EMEA, Mark Bullingham said, “We are incredibly proud of the whole Fuse team, winning the Consultancy of the Year title for two years in a row is a huge accolade for us. Over the past year, Fuse really has come of age, with records set in terms of team growth, pitch wins and 100% client retention. I believe our late founder David Pinnington would be proud of everything that has been achieved. And to top it all off, we are delighted to receive industry recognition for our people, with rising star Lucy Humphrey named Most Promising Young Executive in light of her great work over the past year. It was a complete shock but huge honour for me to win the Sponsorship Personality of the Year Award, the icing on the cake for a fantastic night for our whole team.”
Lucy Humphreys, Account Manager, said of winning her award, “I am absolutely thrilled to have received this honour. I have been very lucky to have the opportunity to work on a number of outstanding sponsorship programmes with such a great team at Fuse”.
