Fruity Llama named finalist for two Red Rose Awards

We’re thrilled to announce that Fruity Llama has been named a finalist in two highly coveted categories at the Red Rose Awards 2025 – the Digital Award and the Design Award.

This achievement highlights our commitment to delivering exceptional website design and digital marketing solutions for businesses across Lancashire while celebrating the creativity and innovation of our team.

A Delighted Digital Marketing Team

Our mission is to transform businesses with tailored strategies and forward-thinking solutions. Being recognised in two key categories this year reaffirms our dedication to providing top-tier web design and performance marketing services. Here’s a closer look at the awards we’ve been nominated for:

The Digital Award acknowledges organisations and professionals in the digital sector that lead with innovation, whether through digital transformation, cutting-edge technology, or impactful marketing strategies. This category highlights excellence in strategic planning, execution, and adaptability.

The Design Award, on the other hand, celebrates creativity and ingenuity in areas such as graphic design, branding, PR, marketing, video production, and photography. It honours work that not only meets but exceeds client expectations while showcasing strategic and impactful outcomes.

We are especially delighted to have been shortlisted for the Design Award for the second year running, alongside our debut as finalists for the Digital Award.

Expanding into performance marketing over the past year, including services such as Google Ads and Facebook/Instagram advertising, has allowed us to build on our established success as a web design team. This diversification has enabled us to deliver even greater value to our clients, and this recognition speaks volumes about our progress.

Being named finalists in two Red Rose Award categories reflects our growth and unwavering commitment to producing innovative and impactful work for our clients in Lancashire.
