As a business founded by the indominable Nicky Wake and with a Senior Leadership team made up predominantly of seriously strong women, Alex Slade, Michelle Graham, Sarah Williams, Leenesha Friend and Sarah Belcher, we are delighted to share our latest partnership. We are honoured to be working with Women In Agencies on both the UK Company Culture Awards and UK Agency Awards. Don’t Panic Award's mission is to ensure agencies and teams across digital marketing receive the reward and recognition they deserve from within the industry and the wider business community. Part of this comes through networking at events, sharing of stories and best practices and celebrating together what digital marketing can achieve. Women in Agencies is the perfect partner for our ethos as their mission is to help ‘women to reach their full potential in the agency world.’ Providing peer support and professional development opportunities to empower and unite inspirational women at every level. Beth Sherman from Women in Agencies shared, “I am delighted to partner with Don’t Panic Events across two of their leading agency awards in 2025. We share a passion for empowering success and promoting diversity in our agencies and the work we do.” Thank you Beth for sharing your enthusiasm, and for joining us on our journey, we look forward to collaborating with you. #UKCompanyCultureAwards #UKAgencyAwards #partnership #collaboration #success

What’s Next? As we wrap up this transformative year, it’s amazing to see how far we’ve come. With internal changes, streamlined processes, event mergers, rebrands, and a shiny new website on the way, we’ve laid the foundations for an even stronger future.   The year ahead promises even greater things.
