While big cities will likely never cease to attract creative talent, much of the nation’s most remarkable work is created beyond the bright lights of the capital. The Drum Roses Awards celebrates innovative and effective campaigns built in Britain’s regions, helping brands look off the beaten track of the M25 to find exceptional agencies and people.

Aardman for Cats Protection

Aardman, BBC Creative and The Leith Agency are among this year’s shortlisted agencies

This year’s awards were judged by a panel of esteemed and experienced creatives from around the country, including senior figures from Dyson, Harris Tweed Hebrides, MediaMonks, The Chase, and Kindred. The jury was led by Richard Denny, executive creative director at St Luke’s.

The results will be announced at a virtual ceremony on Wednesday May 19 2021. Register to attend via the website and join us to celebrate the winners and their work.
