As anyone who follows us will know, we do love an award at Hope&Glory.
And few are bigger or more important (at least from an agency marketing perspective!) than the Campaign Agency of the Year Awards. So it was with considerably delight that we found ourselves up for two – as PR Agency of the Year and Independent Agency of the Year – and won one of them, taking gold.
This is what the judges had to say about us (thank you, it’s very nice!) …
According to Campaign sister title PRWeek, Hope & Glory is the most-awarded agency of the year once again and the most-awarded agency of the last four years.
Among its many accolades, it has been shortlisted over 1,320 times in awards, shows, for which it won 515 times. It is PR Week’s “Best Agency to Work For” and appears high in Campaign’s “Best Agency to Work For” tables. It was also named PRCA “Best Agency to Work For” and it made its debut on The Sunday Times “Best Places to Work” table this year.
And it has had a cracking year: It’s 10% up on income year-on-year, and its run-rate was up 20% in November 2024 compared to a year ago. Profits are up 26% with a margin of 18% post-team bonuses and the agency has won work from brands that included Samsung, LEGO, Dyson, Carlsberg, Discord, Meta, ODEON, Hiscox, Elvie, Chelsea FC Women, Sunglasses Hut, David Clulow, Unilever, IHG and Campari Group. It maintains relationships with Virgin Media O2, Barclays and IKEA (over twelve years); Meta, SEGA, adidas (over eight years), Argos, Edrington, Pokémon and Sainsbury’s (over seven years), Greggs, Sky, Etsy, hmv, IMG and Uber (over five years) and its client satisfaction (based on our annual survey) is at its highest ever.
As our judges remarked: “What an impressive year for Hope & Glory. This is an agency that demonstrates excellence in so many areas.”
