Steak Media named as Media Agency of the Year at the Interactive Marketing and Advertising Awards
Hosted and organised by NMA and Marketing Week, there were over 320 entries competing for top position in 21 categories. The awards were established four years ago to recognise and celebrate the most effective examples of marketing and advertising using the internet, mobile and interactive TV.
Steak Media beat 3 other market leading companies including Mediacom, i-Level and Bigmouthmedia in the Media Agency of the Year category. Steak was also named as a finalist in the category for Best Use of Search Marketing for their work on swiftcover.com
The 19 judges commented "they had watched Steak grow from nothing to a great agency that was leading the market and doing phenomenally well with an intelligent and impressive use of PPC"
Earlier in the week, Steak picked up the award for Best High Growth Business at the Daily Mail Enterprising Young Brits awards. The event recognises young people who have turned their ideas into reality and was attended by Gordon Brown and Alastair Darling.
Oliver Bishop, co-founder and CEO of Steak Media said "It is fantastic that Steak, an agency only founded in 2005, has been awarded with both Media Agency of the Year and Best High Growth Business in the same week. It is down to the sheer hard work, support and dedication our team at Steak have put in and the excellent client relationships we have developed. The awards recognise how Steak has grown and transformed itself to be a leading player in the market."
