of dancefloor, as we celebrate together into the wee hours.

A huge congratulations, in advance, to our winners; a hearty pat of the back for all of the finalists; and for everyone else, you made it through another year of project deadlines, challenging briefs and exacting clients. That alone has earnt you a glass of fizz, so let your hair down and enjoy the night.
