A Birstall-based business has been crowned Northern Marketing Agency of the Year.

Fantastic Media took the title at an award ceremony organised by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and held at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Liverpool as part of the International Festival for Business.

The event celebrated the insight, creativity and success of the northern marketing industry and recognised the outstanding campaigns and exceptional talent from across the region.

The category won by Fantastic considers the agency as a whole, taking into consideration its objectives, its team, its recent campaigns, its achievements and details of challenges faced and how they were overcome.

The judges said they were impressed by the growth experienced by Fantastic over the past year and how the success of its full service integrated approach positioned the agency above its peers.

Previous CIM winners include HSBC, Thomas Cook, Communisis and Cherry London agency.
