The challenge was simple. The Templeton Foundation wanted to raise the profile of the Templeton Prize, a prestigious event which honours a living person who has made an exceptional contribution to life’s spiritual dimension, whether through insight, discovery or practical work. Founded in 1972, they wanted to make it more relevant and accessible to the world. We produced the Templeton Prize Ceremony, live broadcasts, media conferences and films for Prize-laureate luminaries such as the 14th Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu and Jean Vanier. Venues included St Paul’s Cathedral, London Guildhall and St Martin-in-the-Fields.
