Te Tūi Tea Party

The Official National Digital Awards Fringe Event for Progressive Agency Leadership

Te Tūi Tea Party

Agency Leaders vied for Tūi Tea Party spot 24 stories above beautiful Birmingham.

The Blutui UK team invited a dozen progressive agency leaders to lunch ahead of the National Digital Awards in Birmingham last Friday. Agencies from Cornwall to Cambridgeshire, not to mention a well represented Birmingham creative scene joined the Blutui executive for Cocktails, creative ops chats and camaraderie at the super luxe 24 Stories restaurant.

Among the discussions were the recently launched Blutui Context, providing the AI, MCP and Skills to catapault digital studios to pixel perfection and profit.

Next was the establishment of BlutuiLabs in the UK agency market providing the support and service agencies have become accustomed to from the Blutui NZ studio HQ.

There were birthday shoutouts, encouragement around the awards and some top tips from the judging panel for next years entries. 

All in all a wonderful experience combining uniquely antipodean cocktails, a competitive case study or two and connection that transcends your typical video chat. 

The Blutui team thank all who made the cut for making the effort to come and look forward to hosting the next Te Tūī Tea Party at Cannes in June. 

To all the amazing winners of the National Digital Awards we look forward to joining you for a post-Awards celebratory lunch in Birmingham on the 17th of June.
