Celebrating a Double Nomination at the 2026 Northern Digital Awards

We’re delighted to share that we’ve been shortlisted for not one, but two categories at the 2026 Northern Digital Awards. Recognition amongst our industry peers like this is brilliant, but being acknowledged for two projects that really showcase the breadth of our work feels especially rewarding.

We have been shortlisted for Best Website for our relaunch of Blog Preston, and Best Digital Marketing Campaign: Public Sector for our multi-channel advertising campaign for Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority.

The Blog Preston website, a project led by Technical Director James Duffell (who actually built the original site a decade ago!) was focused on giving an essential community resource the online presence it deserves. From rethinking user journeys to improving accessibility and strengthening the site’s structure, we collaborated closely with the Blog Preston team to create a digital space built for the way local audiences read and engage today.

Seeing the site relaunch earlier this year was a proud moment for everyone involved, and this nomination makes it even sweeter.

Our advertising campaign with Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority, led by Marketing Lead Gemma Bend, was all about directing residents across the Liverpool City Region to the their Journey of Recycling initiative, which lifts the lid on what really happens to recycling to help educate and increase uptake in the area.

Our multi-channel campaign used targeted Meta and Google advertising, audio advertising across Spotify and Global Radio, creative content and behavioural insight to bring that journey to life. The result was increased traffic, stronger engagement and more residents understanding the real processes behind recycling. The campaign was also nominated for a Prolific North Marketing Award earlier this Autumn.

Being recognised (again!) for our work is something we’re genuinely proud of. These nominations reflect the talent and collaboration of our team and our partners at Blog Preston and MRWA.

The winners are announced at a ceremony in January – we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed!
