We had a great night at the Irish Sponsorship awards where Pride Vibes won Best Radio Broadcast Sponsorship Award.
Launched in 2022, Pride Vibes returned to the airwaves this summer for the third year running with a lineup of presenters including Sean Munsanje, Shivani Dave, Crossy, Stephen Byrne and Vicki Blight. We’re really proud of the work we’ve done on Pride Vibes in UrbanMedia and we’re dedicated to ensuring it goes from strength to strength. The station’s mission is to shine a light on Irish life by celebrating the successes of the LGBTQIA+ community and initiating conversations around the issues that matter.
Commenting on the win Brian McCarthy, Group Commercial and Operations Director for Wireless Ireland said:
“Pride Vibes is such a passion project for everyone involved in it. I’m so happy for the wide range of talent in our group who have contributed to the station and it makes me so happy to see Gra, who has been a constant driver of the project from day one receive this award.
The project is built on a desire to strive for equality and to give an audio voice to the LGBTQIA+ community in Ireland. We’re so happy to see our station recognised at such a prestigious event at the Irish Sponsorship Awards, especially when you consider the calibre of the other winners on the night.
“When we launched it would have been beyond our wildest dreams to believe we’d be celebrating winning two marquee awards in 2024. This “Best Radio Broadcast Sponsorship” award follows on from winning the “Audio for Change” Award at the Irish Audio Awards earlier this year and is brilliant recognition for the amazing cross department work that is done to create Pride Vibes. A huge thank you to our brilliant team and also to our commercial partners, Core, Dalata Hotels and An Post without whom none of this could happen.”
