Leeds PR and content agency, Aubergine, has won New Agency of the Year in this year’s PRmoment Awards for the North.
Hosted at the Hilton Deansgate, Manchester, on Wednesday 13 March, the awards celebrate excellence and recognise outstanding campaigns and exceptional talent in the UK PR and Communications sector.
A firm fixture on the PR calendar, the PRmoment Awards are judged by eminent senior in-house and agency-side communications professionals.
Competing against already established award-winning agencies, the win recognises that despite only having been established for less than 12 months, Aubergine, like its clients, are disrupting the food and tech space.
The agency, consisting of a team of two Directors, Verity Clarke and Emma Gardner, work with a network of highly experienced consultants across the UK and has secured over £100k of new business in eight months, working with Flyt, London Food Tech Week, Evapolar, Slingsby Gin, Carthy & Black, Glorious Soups and Surfaceskins. Their creative campaigns have also led them to work alongside NASA, Jamie Oliver Group, Deliveroo and UberEats.
Aubergine’s co-founder, Emma Gardner, commented: “We are delighted to be given the prestigious accolade of New Agency of the Year in this year’s PRmoment awards. From winning a nine-way pitch against established London agencies to work with tech company Flyt, to launching the world’s first Food Tech Village in London, Team Aubergine prides itself on bringing passion and enthusiasm to all client briefs. As a team of experienced former journalists and knowledgeable consultants, who all have unique behind-the-scenes experience we will look to continue to innovate in the tech and food PR landscape.”
Aubergine’s co-founder, Verity Clarke added: “The last year has been an incredible journey– from setting up an agency, developing our business model and acquiring some incredible clients. It’s therefore great to see Aubergine being recognised by our peers and is a testament to how far we have come in such a short space of time.”
