Agency news: We’re nominated for FIVE awards for work with member organisations

We are thrilled to announce that we’re finalists in THREE highly contested categories at the 2026 Memcom Excellence Awards and TWO at the Association Excellence Awards!

We’ve been shortlisted for Best Magazine, Circulation more than 20K (Income <£5M) and Best Publication at the MemCom Excellence Awards and Publication of the Year (over 25k) at the Association Excellence Awards (AEAs) for our work on the Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum member magazine alongside our design partner Oyster Design.

We have also been nominated for MemCom’s Best Agency AND Association Agency or Supplier of the Year at the AEAs alongside some outstanding industry peers.

“We are ecstatic to be shortlisted for three awards at the Memcom Excellence Awards and two at the Association Excellence Awards this year. Both are extremely competitive, so to even be nominated by the judges is a testament to the quality and effort that went into this project, ably supported by our specialist team.

“Our focus was on high-growth, maximised potential, and creating and sustaining an engaged membership base. This strategic approach and specialist delivery secured a record number of members for the Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum, with a 513% ROI for the campaign.

“Thank you to the judges at Memcom and the Association Excellence Awards for this incredible recognition of our work and the impact it has had.”
