Awards Hosts / MC Speakers
Specialist Speakers awards host talent: a great awards MC makes all the difference between an awards event and a fantastic awards event. Empathy, humour, timing, insight, intelligence, personality – that’s all you need to be a great awards host. During 2020 with almost all awards shows going online the demands on a host have been as great as ever, plus, a little more has been required. We advise on how to choose a candidate for the very special role that they have to fulfil in the virtual awards space.
Specialist Speakers is always delighted to sponsor award shows ourselves – we understand their value we have supported more than a hundred Chartered Institute of Public Relations live awards events.
