After winning the PLASA Award for Innovation and Best Debuting Product at LDI 2014, the Mythos has also won this prestigious accolade. Francesco Romagnoli, Clay Paky area manager for North America and Latin America, and Bob Gordon, founder of ACT Lighting, Clay Paky's distributor, received the award from the hands of David Johnson (LDI/ Live Design publisher) and Marian Sandberg (LDI/Live Design content director).
Romagnoli said, "We have received yet another trophy from the industry for a product which is the result of Clay Paky research and entirely designed and manufactured in Italy. I would like to thank the ACT Lighting team, who have been doing an extraordinary job in recent years in terms of promoting and spreading our brand throughout North America."
Bob Gordon echoed him, "The Mythos has made a real impact on the American market and beyond, as the Sharpy did before it. What the Mythos offers is unique. The rental firms in a show-oriented country like the United States realized its great potential straight away, and immediately set about hunting it down for their productions."
On the subject of events lit by Clay Paky lights in the United States, Clay Paky has also received another award: the Excellence Award for the 2014 Halftime Superbowl, which starred Bruno Mars. Justin Lung, marketing director at ACT Lighting, said, "The Superbowl is the most important sporting event for Americans and one of the biggest TV shows in the world. It is followed by more than 100 million people every year. In recent years, the shows have always been fantastic and unforgettable, and we are proud to say that they have always been lit by a large number of Clay Paky lights."
