Property marketing awards and marketing accolades are always nice to receive. But, we’ve realised, the best way to win awards is not to think about them too much.
The awards panels are smart people. They know what makes a good property marketing campaign. This is why (alongside creativity) they look at things like commercial results, community engagement and other measurable outcomes.
So, instead of thinking about awards, we focus on what we can do that will make the biggest positive difference to our clients and their customers. This strategy seems to be working well for us so far.
On this topic page, you’ll find any news about awards we’ve won or shortlists we’re part of. There are some articles on what makes something award-winning and some links to award-winning work.

Smithfield Works, Stoke - Shortlisted for Best Website - Property Marketing Awards 2022
DS.Emotion were shortlisted in the 'Best Website category at the 2022 Property Marketing Awards; this time for the Smithfield Works website & app. Smithfield Works is an outstanding, first-of-its-kind, commercial office and co-working space in Stoke.
Its front-end is a brochure site for potential tenants. The website can become an app (simply by adding it to your phone) which then enables users to book meeting rooms, manage access to private suites and find out about neighbour discounts. Neighbours (local amenities) can manage their own profiles and post special offers. By giving neighbours the power to manage their own profiles, it creates an organic and up-to-date community that really reflects the growing and changing neighbourhood.
