We’re incredibly proud to share that Bubble has been shortlisted in all four categories we entered at the prestigious UK Company Culture Awards.
The categories we’ve been shortlisted for are:
• Best Culture Transformation Initiative
• Best Team Culture
• Best Company to Work For
• Best Agency to Work For
The awards ceremony will take place at the Hilton London Bankside on Thursday 7th May 2026, bringing together organisations from across the UK who are leading the way in creating positive, people-focused workplaces.
For us, being recognised across all four categories is an incredibly meaningful achievement and a reflection of the culture our team has built together.
A People-First Culture at Bubble
At Bubble, we’ve always believed that great work starts with a great team. Over the past 26 years, our culture has been shaped by the people who work here, some of whom have grown their careers with us for more than two decades.
In the last 18 months, we’ve entered a new phase of growth, expanding our team from 12 to 30 talented designers, developers, marketers and creatives. While growth is exciting, it also presents challenges – particularly when it comes to maintaining the culture that makes an agency special.
That’s why we’ve made a conscious effort to ensure our culture continues to evolve alongside the business, while still staying true to the values that define Bubble:
• Love our customers
• Do the right thing
• Be our best
• Win as a team
• Own it
These values guide everything we do – from how we collaborate internally to how we support our clients.
The Cultural Roles Programme
One of the key initiatives that helped us achieve these award nominations is our Cultural Roles Programme.
Rather than leaving culture solely in the hands of leadership, we created a framework where team members can volunteer to lead key areas of culture within the agency, including:
• Wellbeing
• Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
• Corporate Social Responsibility
• Social events and team connection
This approach gives everyone a voice and empowers our team to shape the workplace they want to be part of.
Since launching the programme, we’ve introduced a range of initiatives suggested directly by the team, including:
• Monthly payday socials
• Mental Health First Aid training for team members
• Paid volunteering days
• Sustainability and CSR projects
• Team learning sessions through our Lunch & Learn programme
More than 50 ideas were submitted by the team, with many already implemented across the business.
Building a Stronger Team Culture
Alongside these initiatives, we’ve continued investing in the development and wellbeing of our team through:
• Flexible and hybrid working
• Training and development opportunities
• Team learning sessions
• Charity challenges and volunteering days
• Regular team socials and our annual workcation
These initiatives aren’t just about creating a positive working environment – they also have a direct impact on the work we deliver for our clients.
When teams feel supported, motivated and connected, they produce better work and build stronger relationships with the businesses they support.
Culture That Drives Results
One of the things we’re most proud of is that our culture doesn’t just exist internally – it’s reflected in the experiences our clients have when working with us.
Over the past year we’ve seen:
• Continued year-on-year business growth
• 130+ five-star Google reviews
• A major pitch win against 13 competing agencies
In many cases, clients tell us that it’s the strength of our team and the culture behind it that sets Bubble apart.
