We are proud to announce that Bloom Digital Marketing has been recognised in the SME News Business Elite Awards 2026, winning:
🏆 Best Digital Marketing Agency 2026 – North West England
This is now our third consecutive year being recognised by SME News. In 2024, we won Best Digital Marketing Agency – Cheshire and Excellence in Web Maintenance. In 2025, we added Best Digital Marketing Agency – Cheshire and Excellence in SEO Services. And now, in 2026, we have been recognised across the whole of the North West.
That progression means something to us.
Awards are nice. But what matters more is what they represent.
Why This Matters to You
If you are looking for a digital marketing agency in Cheshire, you want to know you are working with people who actually know what they are doing.
That sounds obvious. But this industry has a problem.
There are a lot of agencies out there making promises they cannot keep. Fancy reports. Buzzwords. Monthly retainers that deliver nothing but confusion.
We have heard the stories from business owners who come to us after being let down. Websites that were never built for search. SEO packages that were just ticking boxes. Money spent with nothing to show for it.
So when an independent body recognises our work, it is a signal. Not just that we are doing good work, but that we are doing it consistently. Year after year.
Now in its ninth year, the Business Elite Awards highlight the best of UK enterprise. According to SME News, each award is “the result of thorough research carried out by our dedicated team, ensuring every recipient is celebrated for their genuine achievements, commitment to quality, and positive influence within their industry.”
In other words, this is not a pay-to-play award. It is independent recognition based on what we actually do.
Our Commitment to Getting Better
Here is something we do not shout about enough.
We invest heavily in training and professional development. Not because it looks good on a website, but because this industry moves fast and our clients deserve people who keep up.
We are members of Agency Mavericks, a global community of digital agency owners committed to doing things properly. It is where we sharpen our business systems, our delivery processes, and our thinking.
This is not a side project. It is a proper investment of time and money. Courses, coaching calls, conferences. We have flown to San Diego for training events. We attend workshops, run audits against best practice frameworks, and constantly refine how we do things.
Why?
Because when you trust us with your digital marketing, you are trusting us with your business growth. That is not something we take lightly.
Our own rebrand from Bloom Creative Design to Bloom Digital Marketing reflected this evolution. We started as a design-focused studio and grew into a full-service digital marketing agency. We have been through the process ourselves, so we understand what it takes to grow and adapt.
“Winning this award for the third year running genuinely means a lot. What matters to me is what it represents about how we work.
We’re not interested in vanity metrics or tick-box marketing. Every client we work with has a biweekly call with us — not to hear a report on what tactics we’re running, that’s our job to manage — but to talk about their business. Are we getting closer to their goals? Are the right people finding them? That’s what we’re focused on.
The other thing I’m proud of is how seriously we take our own development. Our membership in Agency Mavericks is a real investment of time and money — because this industry moves fast and our clients deserve an agency that keeps up.
When you trust us with your digital marketing, you’re trusting us with your business growth. When we get a win for a client, honestly, that’s what gets us out of bed in the morning, and it would keep me up at night if we didn’t do a good job.”
– Jeanette Elton, Founder of Bloom Digital Marketing
Why do we keep investing in getting better?
Because when you trust us with your digital marketing, you are trusting us with your business growth. That is not something we take lightly.
What This Means for Our Clients
The businesses we work with are not looking for awards. They are looking for leads, enquiries, and customers.
That is still the priority. Always will be.
But knowing your agency has been independently recognised for digital marketing across the North West should give you confidence. Confidence that you are working with people who care about the craft and keep investing in it.
Whether you are already a client or thinking about working with us, this is what you can expect:
Straight talking. We tell you what is working and what is not. No BS!
Proper foundations. Websites built for search from day one. SEO that follows best practice, not shortcuts.
Long-term thinking. We are not interested in quick wins that fall apart. We build things that last.
A team that keeps learning. Because what works today might not work next year, and we stay ahead of that.
Thank You
To our clients, thank you for trusting us with your businesses. These awards exist because of the work we do together.
To the team at Bloom, thank you for the commitment and care you put into every project. This recognition belongs to all of us.
And if you are a business owner in the North West wondering whether your digital marketing could be working harder, we would love to have a conversation.
