LONDON – December 6th 2021 – Earlier this year, Imagen announced their partnership with the 36th America’s Cup, despite fears of the pandemic stopping production and fans not being able to watch the races live, the event took place between December 2020 - March 2021.

Following the triumph, the TV broadcast has been awarded the ‘Most Successful Sports Event Broadcast’ at the Sports Business Awards 2021.
