Identity are partnering with global media platform The Drum this year, which includes sponsoring four of their main awards shows. On 7th June, we sponsored The Drum Design Awards which took place at the prestigious Emirates Stadium in London.

The Drum Design Awards exclusively recognises fantastic design being produced by agencies and design studios and is an evening all about celebrating and rewarding everyone’s successes over the past year. In this article, we will talk about some of our highlights of the nights event.

The evening kicked off with the grand unveiling of the new Drum Award trophy design, created by NB Studio. Presented by The Drum’s co-founder and editor-in-chief, Gordon Young, who revealed the new video, soundbite and trophy which will be used throughout their coming awards shows over the next year.

On the night we once again supplied our custom-made giant deckchair to bring a little extra fun to the occasion. This was incredibly popular with attendees really enjoying the fantastic photo opportunities.
