I was asked today to share my opening speech ♡

I felt every word. And I felt the energy in the room. A moment when everyone felt seen. And one I'll never forget. Thank you for doing this for every creator and

"Judges’ Choice Award goes to a duo who refused to be intimidated by years of anonymous abuse.

They kept records, followed the evidence and showed that truth and accountability can prevail online.

For every creator, brand and team who has swallowed insults, and kept working anyway, this moment is yours.

Tonight, we honour Neil and Donna Sands. Their case delivered a landmark win, proved that real people can be protected.

This is clear proof that abuse and harassment CAN NOT and WILL NOT be tolerated, not by courts, not by platforms and not by a community that values human dignity.

To the creators who have carried on through sleepless nights - you are not alone, your work matters, and you DO NOT have to accept abuse as the price of doing your job."

Since 2019, the NI Social Media Awards stage has been brought to life by

Every year it gets bigger, better, bolder.

This year, it felt like the biggest awards production in Northern Ireland, if not the whole island of Ireland.

I give them my crazy brief, then they find a way. Every. Single. Time.

This year’s: AI-produced dancing apes on screen rather than people in ape costumes. They delivered. It was a full WOW moment.

We also had floating umbrellas, floating candles, glow-in-the-dark bubbles, and cold sparks. All supplied by who are unreal to deal with. Thank you Garry and team. Such a joy to work with.

The room was complimented by stunning greenery supplied by the super trendy .greeneast

The production and room styling was next level from start to finish. These guys are all the best suppliers anyone could ever ask for.

Huge thank you to BNL Productions, to Northern Lights Event Hire, The Green East and to and the whole crew. You made the impossible happen and turned a wild idea into a show.

Roll on next year.

To my brilliant niece and cousin (dressed by our partner )

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for holding the front of house together so beautifully.

450 guests arriving at once is no small thing. You met it with calm heads, kind voices, and the sort of grace that sets the tone for the entire night.

I watched you both in that whirlwind and felt so proud.

With love and thanks, Niamh

and

I say it every year because it is true, you are the heartbeat of these awards.

You bring the vibes, the humour, the calm in the chaos, and that electric energy that lifts the whole room.

You never just turn up, you show up with your whole selves, and you give until the very last moment.

Watching you both work together is a masterclass in chemistry and care.

You make our finalists feel seen, you make our winners feel celebrated, and you make the rest of us feel so proud to be part of it.

Thank you for pouring your heart into this with me, year after year.

The best duo by a country mile, and I am endlessly grateful for you both.

Here’s to you both, for the heart you bring and the joy you create, always.

The nations favourite hosts. Love to you both. Niamh x
