Testimonials

The awards ceremony reminds us how strong digital performance is in the north of the UK, and it’s great to have this recognised at an event. As an agency, it’s great to come together with agencies and businesses from the north to recognise some of the fantastic work completed over the last 12 months and celebrate in true northern style!
Cedarwood Digital
The Northern Digital Awards is a highly anticipated event that celebrates the outstanding achievements of digital marketing agencies across the North of England. Simul Digital’s nominations across multiple categories highlight our expertise and dedication to excellence. We are proud to have been shortlisted for the following awards: Best PPC Campaign, Best Ecommerce Website, and Best Small Digital Agency of the Year.
Simul Digital
We couldn’t be more thrilled to be a finalist across all six of the categories we entered. outbloom was created as an accessible solution for brands looking for innovative solutions and experienced partners for their performance marketing. This is the first time we have entered the Northern Digital Awards since founding outbloom, so to be shortlisted against our peers, many of whom we know personally, is a true testament to our values and success over the past 18 months. We couldn’t be more proud to be shortlisted, and are looking forward to the awards night (we all know Northerners know how to party!)
outbloom
We couldn’t be prouder to be shortlisted for the third year on the trot, and especially when we have secured a place on the shortlist in four award categories! We take these awards very seriously and always find it rewarding to be recognised independently for the hard work that we as a team, together with our partners, put in day in and day out. Whilst the wider market conditions have been challenging over the last twelve months, we have managed to deliver another record-breaking year, and we can never underestimate the contribution of our partners to our continued success. We’re looking forward to attending the Northern Digital Awards together with our Northern-based partners and hopefully toasting a victory!
Face the Future
It’s amazing to be shortlisted for the Northern Digital Awards for the third year in a row. As a proud Yorkshireman and Northern company, we’re delighted to be shortlisted alongside the best campaigns and digital businesses in the North. Being recognised shows the power of teamwork, with Face the Future’s performance continuing to positively trend against the market, which is seeing negative growth. We’re looking forward to attending the Northern Digital Awards with the team from Face the Future and Green Ginger Digital. Good luck to everyone who has been shortlisted!
Face the Future
Entering the Northern Digital Awards was a smooth, supportive, and genuinely enjoyable process. The Don’t Panic team were clear, organised, and approachable throughout, making it an exciting experience for the whole team.
