We’ve been doing our thing and helping our clients show their brilliance to the world for over ten years now.
We know what we do, and we do it well, staying ahead of the curve and using the most effective methods to ensure our clients’ marketing gets the results they need.
While we don’t do it for the plaudits, it’s nice to be recognised by peers within the industry. At this month’s Manchester Property Awards, we took home the silverware in the Marketing and Communications Partner of the Year category.
It genuinely means a huge amount to us, not least because it’s our first award win but also because the judging panel featured a member of each local authority in Greater Manchester. When these people look at your work and attach a gold medal next to it, you can’t help but brim with positivity. When you’re judged by people who you yourself have a huge amount of respect for, the effect is magnified.
The work behind the award
We’re always brainstorming creative ideas that could help our clients stand out from the crowd and achieve their goals. It’s a massive privilege to have the opportunity to do this kind of work each week, flexing creative muscles and bringing visions to life.
But pitching an idea to a client is one thing. It takes bravery and ambition on the part of the client to throw themselves into that vision. There are lots of variables that can affect whether a campaign gets started or not. You need sufficient finances, capacity and the confidence to step out from the crowd before you get started.
When we pitched the Manchester Then and Now exhibition to our long-time client, Euan Kellie Property Solutions, Euan and his team locked in immediately. There was the drive and ambition to make it a reality and they really committed to throwing themselves into it completely.
The result was an exhibition that brought hundreds of people to Material Source to see it, national news coverage and a humongous boost to brand salience across in-person viewings, online content and speaking events.
It was this work that was central to our awards submission to the 2026 MPAs and we really couldn’t have done it without Euan and his amazing team. Thanks for putting your trust in us to do you proud!
What the judges said
“The judges praised Luma Marketing for its place-led storytelling and its deep understanding of Greater Manchester’s identity. A clear approach, strong engagement and impressive client retention demonstrated the real impact of its creative work.”
No rest for the wicked
The award isn’t an ending. It’s a location on a longer journey. We’re still at our desks, thinking about the next campaign and how we can help our amazing roster of clients show their brilliance to the world.
This is why we’re in the game. To do good work for good clients. And long may that continue.
