The latest category introduced to this year’s Stockport Business Awards will see three Stockport creatives in a battle to take the first crown!
The Best Creative Agency award is sponsored by ourselves: Marketing Stockport.
Shortlisted Stockport creative companies are Bellyflop TV, Platform 81 and Trust.
All three companies have been involved in the awards in the past, with Bellyflop TV having filmed videos for the evening and both Platform81 and Trust being previous winners of different categories – so it should make for an interesting night!

Helen White from Marketing Stockport commented;
“We are delighted to be sponsoring the Best Creative Agency award. Stockport boasts an amazing amount of highly regarded and award-winning design and creative talent and it is great to see it being given its own category at this year’s Stockport Business Awards. I’m sure the judges will have a hard task in selecting an overall winner, although I think Stockport is the real winner to have such a great local talent.”
Winners will be announced at a Black-Tie dinner at Stockport Town Hall on 12th October which 400 of Stockport’s finest will attend.
