2026 Shortlist

We’re incredibly grateful to our clients, our partners, and the Global Agency Awards judges for recognising our work. Winning would be an honour — but even being shortlisted fuels our drive to continue disrupting the digital advertising space.

We’re incredibly proud to be recognised at the Global Agency Awards. This shortlisting celebrates our team’s innovative mindset and dedication to achieving measurable results for our clients. We remain committed to pushing boundaries, constantly innovating, and setting new standards in ecommerce marketing.

Innovation should be informed by those who live it. We’ve built a model that values local expertise and strives to address global inequity, because that’s what makes research more useful, more ethical, and ultimately, more powerful. Recognition like this tells us that those values matter

Entering the Global Agency Awards pushed us to reflect on how far we’ve come. Seeing it all laid out, the client success stories, growth milestones, and team wins, made us even prouder of what we’ve built. We are incredibly lucky to have a motivated team who all worktogether to make the magic happen.”

Entering awards like this forces you to stop and reflect on what you've actually built, and when we did that, we were genuinely proud of what we saw. This shortlist is a reminder that doing things differently, and doing them well, gets noticed.

We’re honored to have been recognized by the Global Agency Awards, one of the most well-known awards organizations in this space.

We entered because the work deserved to be seen, and the Don't Panic process made that easy. Clear criteria, a team that was accessible and direct, and a submission experience that did not require us to translate our thinking into someone else's framework.

It’s an honour to be shortlisted for this award, and we’re grateful for the recognition of our team’s dedication and hard work. This achievement allows us to reflect on our incredible journey so far and inspires us to continue striving for future possibilities. At the heart of what we do are our people, and what we have achieved while maintaining a strong cultural foundation with our amazing team at The Social Shepherd is nothing short of phenomenal.
