Double award win for digital agency

By Lancashire Business View

21 Jun 2017

Lancaster-based digital marketing agency SQ Digital received eight nominations at this year’s RAR Digital Awards, winning two.

SQ Digital fought off competition from a number of high profile agencies to win the Recommended Agency Register (RAR) awards for On Budget and Content Strategy in London last week. They were also finalists in the Search, Social, Web Design, Web Development, Client Service and Effectiveness categories.

Managing director Kamal Essa said: “It is great to receive yet more recognition for the hard work our team puts in every day. They work tirelessly on digital campaigns for our clients, aiming to provide them with the best, award-winning services.

“The RAR awards are extra special for us as they are purely based on the ratings our clients give us. It is a great compliment when your clients recognise you for the great work you do for them. I personally get a huge sense of satisfaction seeing our clients’ business grow alongside ours.

“The agency has been going for over 16 years now, and yet it still oozes the energy of a start-up and we all feel we still have a lot more to achieve.”

The double award win built on the success the business had during last year’s RAR Awards when they picked up the On Time trophy in 2016.

RAR uses a database of over 45,000 client ratings to recognise the agencies that are the highest-rated by the people that know them best – their clients.

Having been finalists for seven RAR awards in 2016 and repeating this success with eight nominations in 2017, SQ Digital have shown their services to be an asset to their clients. SQ Digital has seen great success so far in 2017, being as they were finalists for both the Best Large SEO Agency UK and Best Large SEO Agency in Europe at the European Search Awards.
