“Winning Large SEO Agency of the Year at the UK Agency Awards is a turning point that really puts us on the map. Bring Digital started as a specialist SEO agency.

“The European Search Awards are a key date on our calendar. We work hard on our entries, but as you’re up against some of the biggest international agencies, it’s always a little nerve-wracking! To come out with two wins is huge, and it’s wonderful to see both leadership and client teams recognised for their forward-thinking work.” – Victoria Patten, Marketing Manager at Launch

“Winning the Best Large SEO Agency award at the European Search Awards is pretty much the pinnacle of awards you can win – it’s a super proud moment for me. We’ve come a long way as an agency in the last 10 years (it was only three years ago we won the Best Small SEO Agency at the European awards), and I know awards don’t define us, but they do help guide us along the way. And for me, this is an indication that we are heading in the right direction.”- Nick Redding, Managing Director at Reddico

“It’s fantastic to receive this recognition from the content awards for the engaging work we’ve worked closely with UST to deliver over the past two years.
