Executive Director of Worcester Racecourse, Jenny Cheshire, said, “We are thrilled to be a Finalist for the second year running at the Showcase & Awards, this time around for the Best Campaign category. Our 300th Anniversary year has been a fantastic platform to bring new customers to the racecourse and to share in the wonderful heritage of this fascinating site with the local community.
“With a minimal marketing budget and small team, being recognised for our 300th Anniversary campaign goes to show that even with limited resources you can deliver big results. To see Worcester listed as a Finalist against the likes of Aintree’s Grand National campaign and Goodwood’s Magnolia Cup campaign is a real honour and we are very much looking forward to the ceremony at Aintree in November.”
