We are absolutely thrilled to share that Eighty3 has been named a finalist for the Catalyst for Creativity category at the 2026 Black Country Chamber Business Awards. Standing out in a region built on grit, craft, and serious talent is no small task. Getting recognised alongside some of the best businesses in the region means a great deal to every single one of us. We love what we do, and having that passion acknowledged on home turf feels brilliant.
This particular category is all about celebrating the creative businesses that bring original thinking to life and deliver genuine impact. For a long time, the creative sector has had to fight for the credit it truly deserves. We firmly believe that creative agencies do remarkable work every day, and that effort deserves to be highlighted and celebrated properly. Being shortlisted proves that pushing creative boundaries and trying new things is always worth the effort. It shows that taking risks with bold ideas leads to standout work.
Our growth over the years comes down to our incredible team and the visionary clients who trust us with their brands. Design is never a solo effort. It takes open conversations, honest collaboration, and a mutual willingness to try something fresh. Whether we are working on a brand identity, building a website, or planning a campaign, we throw everything into it. The Black Country has always been a place where people make things happen, and we are proud to keep that spirit alive in everything we design.
Win or lose at the ceremony later this year, making the final cut is a huge win for us. We are raising a glass to our amazing team, our brilliant clients, and every other local business making waves right now. We cannot wait to put on our best outfits, head to the awards night, and celebrate everything that makes this region so special. Wish us luck!
