Client Objective

Our challenge

The Prince's Trust, founded in 1976 by His Majesty The King, has helped over 1,000,000 young people get into education, employment or training. Each year a handful are awarded with a Prince's Trust Award, presented by His Majesty, to celebrate their achievements.

Our Approach

How we drove engagement

Each year we create a star studded award show at a major West End theatre. Hosted by Ant & Dec, our audience of over 2,000 people experience special guests, music acts and of course the stories of each young person awarded. In addition to the live event, a 90 minute live red carpet show is broadcast across social channels, further amplifying the activities of the Trust.

Results

How we transformed behaviour

Over the last decade, since Blueprint tool over production, we have expanded the scale, ambition and reach of the awards. 'Most recently ITV broadcast the show in primetime, expanding the reach of the content and messaging to over 3 million viewers.

Deliverable

90 minute live broadcast

Audience

3 million viewers on ITV1
