WE’VE BEEN NOMINATED FOR BEST PERFORMING AGENCY OF THE YEAR
Attention all, we have some exciting news!
eight&four is one of seven advertising agencies to have been nominated for Best Performing Agency of the Year in the Drum Agency Business Awards 2022, not to mention being named in Campaign’s Top 50 Places to Work in marketing for four years in a row.
The reason for this?
Our people.
Due to our amazing agency culture, we’re now up to a whopping 65 employees with a staff retention rate of 91% for the last 12 months. We strongly believe that building a contemporary service offering integrated with a fast growing, progressive employee offering has been integral to our ability to create award-winning work, in collaboration with some of the leading global luxury brands across the world.
Being nominated for Best Performing Agency of the Year reinforces the strength in our set-up as a performance driven 360 social & creative agency – which is how we edged it over much larger social media agencies to become Genesis’ (Hyundai) Lead European Social & Content agency partner in April 2021. In April-December 2021 alone, we activated over 100 influencers, drove 702k social engagements, ran seven international production shoots, and delivered 675k worth of traffic to the brand’s European sales website.
Shortly after our motoring success, we won the Global Content & Social Consultancy support retainer for Sandals in October 2021. By carving out a contemporary editorial lens for their five-star all-inclusive offering, we managed to drive $2m in bookings directly from social in Q1 of 2022 alone.
This year, we’ve also been shortlisted for seven different categories within the European Agency Awards, recognising some of our greatest achievements to date…

This turbo growth off the back of Covid has been a testament to our ability to pivot into new sectors (while also continuing to showcase our expertise in the Travel & Hospitality sectors) and we truly believe that none of this would be possible without the hard work, determination, and passion of our people to want to create impactful and award-winning work across the business.
Wish us luck!
