The results of The Drum England Design Review 2008 were announced on 2 May 2008 in Manchester.
For the second year running Manchester’s Love Creative took home the coveted Hatstand Trophy after being crowned The Drum England Design Consultancy of the Year. The award was handed out at the annual design lunch held at Manchester’s Castlefield Rooms. It cemented a fruitful afternoon for Love, which also came out on top in the Creative Poll and was judged top consultancy by industry contemporaries in the Peer Poll. Love’s Alistair Sim was also named MD of the Year. Music, the firm launched by former Love creative director David Simpson at the start of the year, was named One to Watch for 2008, as voted for by industry peers. It proved a good afternoon all round for Manchester design agencies with Hemisphere topping the financial poll and Mark Studio ranked number one for Client Satisfaction. Comprehensive results will be published in the upcoming issue of The Drum.
