| Target | Number | By | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registrations | 100,000 | 25 August | Hutchison |
| Registrations | 250,000 | 15 September | Hutchison |
| Votes | 1,000,000 | 15 September | Hutchison |
| Tables sold — the 7 September number | 14 of 30 | 7 September | Andrew and Josh |
| Sponsorship | £70,000 secured, six more categories | 15 September | NYX |
| Press | 40 pieces, 10 outside the music press | 7 October | Media Nanny |
A million votes is not a million people. 25 categories, one vote each. 125,000 people voting in eight categories each is the million. Two levers: registrations, and categories completed per person.
Fourteen tables by 7 September. That is break-even and it is also the trigger for the show.
If we have sold fourteen tables by 7 September, the €15,000 three-act show is commissioned and Chris has one month to build it. If we have not, there is no show and the ceremony runs without it.
Everyone selling anything should know that number. It is not a stretch target — it is the point at which the event pays for itself and the night becomes what it should be.
A tier that closes never reopens. We do not discount, ever, and no lower price exists anywhere for any buyer.
Anything else comes to Andrew before it is said out loud.
If it is not marked signed on the Sponsorship page, it is not signed.
No nomination, nominee or winner is discussed with a sponsor or a buyer. Not a hint, at any price.
A named guest list goes to Amnesia at least three hours before doors. Nobody gets in who is not on it, including talent.
Never VIP, exclusive, elite, jet-set, access or room. Say the floor, the Terrace, the night, take your seat, a table of ten.
We have no competitors and never take a swipe at another awards, club or brand.
Every file carries a version number. Never unversioned, never overwritten.
One hour, with Andrew. Four numbers in this order: registrations, votes, tables sold, cash collected. Then what has slipped and what needs a decision. No decks.
All-team, all-agency workshop: 20 and 21 October, Barcelona.
