Extremely pleased to share that The Unknown Creative has been named Agency of the Year at the prestigious North East Marketing Awards in the under 20 employees category. This win means the world to us – not just as a recognition of our hard work, but as a celebration of the incredible creativity and talent that defines both our team and our region.
The awards ceremony was held at the iconic St James’ Park on 4 December 2024. Home of Newcastle United Football Club being a fitting world-class venue to celebrate the achievements of businesses and individuals driving the Northeast forward. AND a brilliant venue for our NUFC-supporting team!
This award is special, as it marks the 15th anniversary of our agency. Over the past 15 years, we’ve grown from our regional roots into an internationally recognised agency, partnering with clients across diverse industries including transport, tech, life sciences, and beauty.
The judges’ feedback truly captures what drives us: “The work of this agency truly stood out for its global reach and impressive versatility across various sectors. With an international client profile, they have consistently delivered exceptional results, demonstrating a clear commitment to fostering creative talent.”
Despite our global reach, we remain deeply committed to the Northeast, and our dedication to supporting the region is at the heart of everything we do: “Their dedication to supporting the Northeast is particularly remarkable. Through their influence and network, they’ve made it their mission to export northern talent to a global stage, creating new opportunities and raising the region’s creative profile.”
Agency owner John Dunne says “We’re incredibly proud to win this award, and this recognition is for our tight-knit team – massive thanks to everyone at TUC. We’re all proud to champion the Northeast’s creative potential on an international stage, proving that innovation and talent know no boundaries.”
“A special mention to Kerry Leng, the judges, and everyone involved in making NEMA24 such an energetic and memorable celebration. The energy in the room was amazing, and we feel so proud to do our part as a Northeast creative agency.”
Huge thanks to our clients, collaborators, and everyone who’s supported our journey over the past 15 years – here’s to 2025!
