Matt Baker revealed as MC for 2013 CIPR Excellence Awards
TV personality, Matt Baker, has been announced as the Master of Ceremonies (MC) for the 2013 Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) Excellence Awards dinner, at the London Hilton on Park Lane on Monday 3 June.
The black-tie dinner is the most prestigious annual awards event in the profession, recognising and rewarding best practice in public relations throughout the UK and acknowledging personal and team achievement at the highest professional level.
Matt Baker first came to fame on Blue Peter, which saw him become one of the 55 year old show’s most loved presenters, winning best children's presenter at the Bafta TV Awards, two years in a row. Since leaving Blue Peter in 2006, Matt has had a successful career co-presenting The One Show and Countryfile on BBC1 as well as appearing as a guest on Nevermind the Buzzcocks and finishing as runner-up on Strictly Come Dancing.
Last year’s CIPR Excellence Awards Dinner was a real highlight of the year and I’m looking forward to this year’s event being even bigger and better! It is a brilliant opportunity to come together with colleagues and friends to celebrate the most professional, most creative and most outstanding achievements our industry has to offer.
