Wednesday 29 June saw us attend the UK Digital Growth Awards in Marble Arch, London and return to the South West triumphant, with three trophies in hand!
Launch was awarded Best Use of Data for ISO consultancy client IMSM and B2B PPC Campaign of the Year for office property client Argyll, before going on to scoop PPC Agency of the Year as the evening drew to a close.
Judges’ feedback noted how ‘everything Launch brought forward as an agency was interesting’ and recognised how ‘impactful’ and ‘well planned and executed’ the campaigns were. They also highlighted our people-centric focus and positive employee experience, where we’ve placed an increasing emphasis on our staff’s wellbeing and happiness, having tripled in team size since the beginning of 2021.
These awards follow a string of other wins this year at the UK Paid Media Awards, European Search Awards, and The Drum Search Awards.
Jaye Cowle, Managing Director at Launch, says: “It’s absolutely brilliant to be able to add these Growth awards to our awards shelf – particularly following such a tricky time in the industry. We’re delighted that the judges have recognised our dedication to our staff and their happiness. It’s an ongoing mission of ours and this just proves we’re on the right path.”
