Award-Winning Food & Drink Marketing Agency

We’ve got news. Big news. The kind of news that deserves a proper proud moment and a celebratory popcorn toss (we are food & drink marketers after all).

KW Marketing has been named Most Innovative Digital Marketing Consultancy 2025 by the SME Business Elite Awards.

Let’s just take that in for a second. This isn’t just a win for our agency. It’s a celebration of everything we’ve built over the last eight years, from a spare room in Devon to national recognition for the work we do every single day with food & drink brands across the UK.

Why this award matters

Awards can sometimes feel a bit fluffy. But this one? It feels different.

Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. From building out best-in-class email marketing automations that turn browsers into buyers, to crafting high-converting paid social ad campaigns that don’t just look good but deliver real ROI, we’re proud to be recognised for thinking outside the box.

We don’t just do marketing. We help brands grow.

This award proves that bold strategy and solid execution is what makes the difference in today’s digital landscape. And it proves that food & drink brands deserve agencies who truly get them.

The power behind our progress

Yes, our name’s on the award. But the real force behind this win? Our people.

From our strategy team and designers to our content creators, client leads and ad specialists, this is a team of marketers who give a damn.

We don’t churn out cookie-cutter campaigns. We don’t rely on fluffy metrics. We don’t disappear once the contract’s signed.

Instead, we roll up our sleeves and build bespoke strategies that help food & drink brands grow in a way that’s smart, sustainable, and actually profitable.

And to the brands we’ve worked with, from startup snacks to household favourites, thank you. Your trust means the world. We see your ambition, and we match it with our own.

It’s not just a title, it’s a turning point

Over the past 12 months, our world has shifted:

We’ve hosted FUEL Live 2025, our biggest-ever food & drink marketing event
We’ve launched the Fuelling Foodies: The Food Marketing Podcast, showcasing founder stories and growth tips that go beyond the surface
We’ve evolved the Food Marketing Club into a DIY marketing hub packed with templates, toolkits and trend insights
And now? We’re being recognised for doing things differently and making it work!

This isn’t just about the past. It’s a sign of where we’re headed.

What this means for our clients

We’re not here to win trophies for the shelf. We’re here to deliver results.

That means more:

Sales through smarter strategies
Support that feels like an extension of your team
Ideas that push the industry forward

Whether you’re a challenger brand launching something bold, or an established name trying to grow smarter in a noisy world, we’ve got your back.

If you’re ready to scale up your digital marketing and want to work with an award-winning agency that knows the food & drink space inside out? Book a free discovery call with Kate and let’s talk.

What’s coming next?

We’re not resting on our laurels. We’re doubling down.

Our September Roundtable is coming, a space for founders to get clarity and community
Our new Email Playbook is about to launch, full of proven strategies from brands that have scaled fast
And we’re building out even more resources inside the Food Marketing Club to help small brands get big results

We’ll also be investing more time into training, workshops and of course our podcasts. Because when we lift the lid on what’s actually working, the whole industry moves forward.

Final word from Kate

I started KW Marketing because I believed there was a better way to do things, with strategy, substance, and a whole lot of heart. Winning this award doesn’t change our mission. It just shines a light on it.

So whether you’re new here or you’ve been part of the journey from day one, THANK YOU. We’re only just getting started.

Here’s to innovation. Here’s to impact. And here’s to helping food & drink brands thrive online, with marketing that works.

We have recently started working with Kate and her team at K W Marketing. Our experience so far has been excellent, they do exactly what they say they do. Everyone worked around the clock to get us to where we needed to be.

Kate and her team bring an exceptional level of thoughtfulness and precision to their work—uncovering what truly matters before artfully translating it into brand expression. For the reformer space, they crafted a brand that seamlessly blends creativity with conversion, creating real buzz and, more importantly, driving bookings. While our mission is to move people, Kate’s vision and execution profoundly moved us.

Kate spoke at the Building Brands marketing conference in Exeter, in November 2024, and was absolutely superb. I honestly couldn't have asked for someone to do better. The feedback that she received - both to her, and to us as the organisers - was especially pleasing and hopefully gave her a really good shot of confidence too! She was brilliant - really engaging, knew her stuff, and gave the attendees some great tips and advice too. Couple of people have been speaking to us about it even now - 3 months later!

Huge thanks Kate, looking forward to getting you along to more events in the future too!

Kate and her team are fabulous by the way. Definitely happy to recommend them!

Working with Kate and the team at KW Marketing has been a game-changer for our business. Their expertise in growth-focused marketing has helped us reach new levels, and the results speak for themselves. From strategy to execution, they’ve been hands-on every step of the way, driving real impact on our growth journey. Highly recommend!

In the modern world of digital marketing which is now a prerequisite for getting your product or service to market, you need professional support from a professional agency. Kate and her team are just that. They have worked with us for the last few months and they have been a game changer and have opened our eyes to the art of the possible.

The power of their work? Well everybody now has a hand held device they are working from for business or pleasure-each person with an average daily screen time of about 3.5 hours - that’s a massive audience to reach digitally.

We have found Kate and her team professional, extremely knowledgable, positive and they don’t hold back, they get things done for you and move you forward. Great partners to work with.

We have been working with the team for just over 6 months now and it's been fantastic. They are so engaged and passionate about the produce they are creating the content for which gives us huge amounts of trust in their work.

Alongside the huge energy they bring to calls, meetings and updates they are still very professional and everything is mapped it to a strategy and recorded to enable us to look back through and see what works and doesn't.

Overall, great company to work with and they are amazing at what they do!

The FUEL marketing event we attended was really useful. We gained a few more ideas of ways to help elevate our small, independent icecream business and came away feeling inspired and motivated. Thankyou again for having us

HUGE thank you to KW Marketing for all of your help, for being a brilliant female founder yourself, and for believing in our movement!

It has been a breath of fresh air working with Kate. She quickly got to grips with what it was our business needed and then made some very clear recommendations. Once we agreed on the project she delivered it seamlessly whilst providing useful updates throughout. I felt that she was very aware of all the pressures on me as a business owner and went out of her way to keep things straight forward. The result is that I now have a framework for our email marketing and after a thorough handover I am really looking forward to generating some results.

Kate and the team worked incredibly hard for us throughout our Christmas email and social
Media campaigns, providing results to match(especially from the email campaigns). Their energy and enthusiasm knows no limits and we will most definitely be using their services again in the future.

Since February this year we have been working closely with Hannah, at KW Marketing, we cannot fault her or the team at all, no job is too big for them. We love that they send us over a content plan every month so then we can check what is going to be posted. Again Thank you to Kate, Hannah, and their amazing team x

I recently attended the Uncovering Opportunities Workshop with Kate, and it left me feeling clear, focused, and motivated to take the next steps in my business. In just a short session, Kate demonstrated a deep understanding of my business and my goals, and I now feel excited and confident to embark on this journey with her by my side. Highly recommend!

Kate and her team have been absolutely fantastic - incredibly professional, dedicated and they go above and beyond what is expected. We are thoroughly impressed and could not recommend them more.

Kate and Mela are a dreamteam. When we went back to KW Marketing (after previously working with Kate) to cover a period without a digital colleague, it was like working with old friends, who cared deeply about our cause and success.
Despite being new to us, Mela got up to speed with the complexities of our international NGO quickly, and took away all the concern you might have about someone external publicly representing a nuanced cause - it felt like having someone on the inside. Great job, thank you so much KW Marketing.

Kate's great digital Marketing knowledge has shaped the digital foot print for our business. Kate goes above and beyond to support us and our business showing genuine care and passion for what we do. I can highly recommend Kate for any business wanting/needing to shine online.

Kate started working with our company around three months ago and she has been absolutely amazing. It's not just her expertise (which is fab) and her drive and energy (impressive) - it's also that she 'got' us from day one and became an essential part of our small team almost immediately. She has made a massive difference to our social media marketing campaigns but also adds value to lots of other aspects such as our brand and our content marketing. We came across Kate by chance (well, her strong Google presence really!) and we are so lucky to have as part of our team.

As an international charity, we needed a social media expert who could provide a high level of ongoing support with our digital channels. Kate was personally recommended to us and, having now worked with her for a few months, I’m not in the least bit surprised. She’s entirely reliable, always responsive, and is a joy to work with. Kate fully invests her knowledge, skills and energy into our work, and there’s no doubt she’s helping us raise our standards improving our results. Kate’s a crucial and appreciated extension of our team.
