40 Years Of 4
Project lead for planning and live implementation.
Channel 4 celebrated their 40th birthday on November 2nd, 2022. Brief objective was to celebrate 40 years of ground-breaking content. The solution was a dinner and party to thank all of those who been involved in Channel 4’s rich history and those responsible for shaping the future.
The V&A was chosen as the perfect venue to host to this special night. The night begun in the Dome reception. Here, guests enjoyed 80’s themed canapés & ‘Channel Phwoar’ Cocktails. A large LED screen integrated seamlessly into the setting and showed some of the amazing C4 content through the years. Channel 4’s CEO Alex Mahon gave a speech and invited guests to enjoy a meal in the incredible Raphael Gallery.
The gallery was transformed with 3 long tables dressed stunningly with ombre flowers & lamps in Channel 4’s iconic colours to complement the Raphael treasures on show. The ambiance of the room was elevated further by an orchestral trio playing modern pop songs with a classical twist during dinner with an after-party following the meal and speeches.
