JAM Marketing is celebrating after being crowned Branding Agency of the Year at the prestigious My Local Awards 2026, recognising the agency's continued success in helping businesses across the North East and beyond build stronger brands and achieve sustainable growth.
Founded in 2004 and based in Sunderland, JAM Marketing has spent more than two decades supporting businesses with creative and practical marketing solutions. Offering a full range of services including branding, public relations, social media management, website design, print, advertising, SEO, PPC and digital marketing, the agency has built a reputation for delivering results while maintaining a highly personal approach.
The award recognises not only the quality of JAM Marketing’s work but also its commitment to long-term client relationships. Unlike many agencies, JAM focuses on providing honest advice and tailored strategies, ensuring clients invest in marketing activity that genuinely benefits their business rather than simply adding services to a package.
Many of the agency’s clients have remained with JAM Marketing for more than 20 years, reflecting the trust, consistency and value that the team continues to deliver.
Sara Marston, Director of JAM Marketing, said: “Winning Branding Agency of the Year is an incredible achievement for our team and something we’re immensely proud of. What makes this award particularly special is that it’s driven by the support of our clients, partners and local business community.
Since day one, our goal has been simple – help businesses grow through creative ideas, honest advice and marketing that actually works. We’ve built lasting relationships with clients by always putting their interests first, and this award is recognition of that approach.
We’d like to thank everyone who voted for us, supported us and trusted us with their marketing over the years. This award belongs to them as much as it does to us.”
As the agency looks ahead, the team remains focused on continuing to deliver innovative marketing solutions while staying true to the values that have driven its success for more than two decades.
