The judges
What the judges said
Both notes came from the organiser, in 2020 and in 2021.
The judges were impressed with your team's personal nature, consistency of reviews and overall attentiveness. It makes you stand out in a very competitive industry and I hope this achievement serves as a springboard for more success.
The community feel around what you do is still apparent and the personal service really sets you apart in a competitive industry.
Neither note is about a tool or a tactic. Both are about how we treat the people we work for. That is still the part of the job we guard most closely, now that the work runs on AI.

Every award here can be traced back to the organiser that gave it.
Then and now
From social media to AI systems
The awards came from our social media years. The way we work came with us.
We started as a social media marketing agency, and every one of these awards was for that work. We have been building with AI since 2019. Today we build AI marketing systems for established firms: a website that AI search can read, AI agents that answer and book every enquiry, the CRM, and one dashboard to run it all.

Our awards: your questions

Corporate LiveWire, a business publication based in Birmingham in the UK, runs them through Fenice Media. It holds regional editions, such as Barcelona, Spain, Southern Europe and the Middle East, and publishes each one as an online guide.
What did The Agency win the Prestige Awards for?
Social Media Marketing Company of the Year in 2020 and again in 2021, then Social Marketing Agency of the Year in both Southern Europe and the Middle East in 2024/25. The judges praised our personal service, the consistency of our reviews and how closely we look after clients.
Did The Agency win the Movers & Shakers award?
We were a finalist. The Barcelona International Business Club named two finalists for its 2019 Digital Business Award, and we were one of them. The result was announced at the gala dinner in Barcelona on 21 February 2020.
Were the awards for AI work?
No. They were for our social media marketing work, which is where we started. We have built with AI since 2019, and today we build AI marketing systems for established firms. The personal service the judges praised has not changed.
