I'm delighted to share that Ing Marketing has been shortlisted for Small Agency of the Year at the 2026 Construction Marketing Awards. The awards recognise excellence in marketing across the built environment sector, celebrating the campaigns, people and businesses that are driving standards forward across the industry.
For a business that is little more than a year old, being named alongside some of the sector's most respected agencies is something I'm incredibly proud of. However, while receiving recognition is always welcome, the true value of industry awards extends far beyond collecting trophies.
Celebrating the industry's best work
Awards play an important role in showcasing the very best work being delivered across construction and the wider built environment. They provide an opportunity to celebrate creativity, innovation and measurable results, while shining a spotlight on the talented teams and individuals working behind the scenes. Just as importantly, they create a platform for sharing ideas, best practice and success stories that can inspire others across the industry.
The construction sector continues to evolve rapidly, with changing technologies, new communication channels and fresh challenges shaping the way businesses engage their audiences. Awards programmes bring marketing professionals together to learn from one another, benchmark performance and discover new approaches that can ultimately benefit clients and the wider industry.
Recognition built on trust
At Ing Marketing, I believe that effective marketing starts with understanding the industry, the people within it and the stories worth telling. Since launching the business, I've had the privilege of working with ambitious companies across construction, manufacturing, sustainability and the wider built environment, helping them raise their profile through strategic PR, content creation and integrated marketing campaigns.
Being shortlisted for Small Agency of the Year is therefore recognition not only of the work delivered over the past year, but also of the trust that clients place in Ing Marketing every day.
I'm looking forward to joining fellow finalists in November and, whatever the outcome, I'm proud to be part of an industry that continues to champion excellence, innovation and the sharing of knowledge across the construction marketing community.
Looking ahead to November
The winners will be announced at the gala dinner in London on 19th November 2026. The awards are endorsed by the Chartered Institute of Marketing Construction Industry Group (CIMCIG) and are widely regarded as one of the construction sector's leading marketing accolades.
David Ing is Founder of Ing Marketing, a specialist communications consultancy supporting organisations across construction, housing, manufacturing and the built environment.
