We are delighted to announce that our Founder and CEO, Samuel Marriott-Dowding, has been shortlisted for Marketer of the Year at the North East Marketing Awards 2026.
Being shortlisted for Marketer of the Year is a welcome milestone in that journey, it reflects the progress we have made, the ambition driving our next chapter and our focus on building a firm whose work speaks for itself, wherever in the world it takes us.
What should organisations look for in an adviser when the challenges they face are increasingly interconnected, international and difficult to define?
specialist knowledge and relationships without relying exclusively on a traditional global structure.

Marriott Communications is proud to announce that we have been shortlisted for Independent Agency of the Year at the @ProlificNorth Marketing Awards 2026.
The recognition comes at a defining point in our development.
Our ambition has never been to build another successful agency, it is to build a firm respected for the quality of its judgement, the strength of its counsel and the value it creates for the organisations it serves - in the North East, across the UK and internationally.
Today, Marriott Communications attended SunFest 2026, the flagship event of Sunderland Business Week, bringing together business leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators to explore the opportunities shaping our economic future.
Realising Sunderland’s ambitions will require collaboration across business, investment, institutions and talent. It means turning ideas into enterprise, potential into progress, and local ambition into wider impact.
