Belfast Telegraph IT Awards

IT Awards

We created and manage the Belfast Telegraph IT Awards on behalf of our client Mediahuis. We approached the client to propose the awards based on our insight into and knowledge of the IT sector. 

Since launching in 2019, the IT Awards have rapidly evolved into a flagship event for Northern Ireland’s tech scene. Over the years, we’ve welcomed exceptional hosts who’ve become part of the Awards’ legacy, including comedians Neil Delamere and Andrew Ryan. In 2024, we elevated the awards further by collaborating with Peter Corry Productions to elevate the ceremony’s production, enhancing the evening’s professional flair and audience experience. As the IT sector continues to evolve, so do our Awards. In 2025, taking place on 14 November at the MAC Theatre, we’re tweaking several categories this year, particularly to reflect the growing importance of AI, cybersecurity, cloud and other emerging tech trends Telefónica Tech UK & I continue to be the title sponsor of the awards and JComms also work to support the interests of their sponsorship. In 2024, Telefónica Tech hosted a successful launch event for the awards at their Belfast office, featuring panel discussions of previous winners, which led to an initial buzz and influx of entries.

As a profile-building, positioning and revenue-raising project for Mediahuis, the awards have been a resounding success.

Ellen Dickson, VP at Telefónica Tech UK&I, commented: “These awards are an excellent opportunity to come together and celebrate the achievements of our ever‑evolving IT sector here in Northern Ireland".
