We’ve put Norfolk Events forward for the East Anglian Marketing Awards – Excellence in Innovation and Excellence in Storytelling and we wanted to share a little of why.
When we started this, we weren’t sure anyone would care. Norfolk has an incredible events scene: festivals, markets, gigs, community gatherings, but no single place where people could reliably find them. So we built one, and then we waited to see if it mattered to anyone other than us.
It did. More than we expected.
Over 200 event organisers came onboard – many of them small, independent, community-led – and trusted a brand new platform with something they’d poured real effort into. Thousands of visitors followed. Events got found that might otherwise have gone unnoticed. Stories got told.
That’s what we put forward for this award. Not a clever strategy or a polished campaign, but the slow, genuine work of building trust with a community, one event at a time.
We’re proud of it. And we’re grateful to every organiser who listed with us, and every person who used the platform to find something worth going to.
If that story resonates with you, we’d love your support. 💚 Visit www.norfolkevents.uk to find out more
