Holdens shortlisted in five categories at the Prolific North Marketing Awards 2025.

We’re buzzing to announce that we’ve been shortlisted in not one, but FIVE, categories at this year’s Prolific North Marketing Awards – recognising and celebrating the very best in creativity, strategy and performance across the North.

Our nominations span two of our recent campaigns:

• Best Integrated Campaign: Avant Homes – Less Moving, More Living (joint entry with Space & Time)
• Best Large Budget Campaign: Avant Homes – Less Moving, More Living (joint entry with Space & Time)
• Best Property & Construction Campaign: Avant Homes – Less Moving, More Living (joint entry with Space & Time)
• Best PPC Campaign: Heritage Great Britain & Snowdon Mountain Railway – 2025 Always-On PPC Campaign
• Best Leisure & Tourism Campaign: Heritage Great Britain & Snowdon Mountain Railway – 2025 Always-On PPC Campaign

The Less Moving, More Living campaign for Avant Homes, delivered in partnership with Space & Time, put the frustrations of homebuyers under the spotlight while showcasing the ease and benefits of buying new with Avant. Our creative, which took the brand in a new direction, ran across multiple digital and offline channels, achieving a 41% year-on-year reduction in Cost Per Enquiry, a 56% reduction in Cost Per Reservation and a 15% uplift in click-through rates against industry benchmarks.

For our longstanding client Heritage Great Britain, our PPC campaign for Snowdon Mountain Railway smashed every target, turning modest budgets into record-breaking returns. At peak, the campaign generated over 4,500 conversions in a single month, driving revenues of more than £225,000 and delivering an extraordinary 15,405% ROI – proving the power of smart, insight-driven paid media to fuel results that affect the bottom line.

Ted Holden, our Managing Director, commented: “To be shortlisted in five categories is something we’re hugely proud of.

“Being recognised is a real testament to the creativity, collaboration and craft that went into both campaigns – from our work with Space & Time for Avant Homes, to the incredible impact we achieved for Snowdon Mountain Railway.

“It’s brilliant recognition for the whole team and our client partners.”

The winners will be revealed at the Prolific North Marketing Awards ceremony later this year. Find out more about the awards here.
