We're proud to share that RiseUp has been named a finalist at the 2026 UK Agency Awards, shortlisted in three categories. It's recognition we don't take lightly. The UK Agency Awards judge agencies and campaigns on the strength of the work and the results behind it, so a place on the shortlist puts our search and eCommerce work in strong national company.
Our three finalist places span both client campaign work and the agency itself:
- Best SEO Campaign — "Scaling Global Growth Through SEO", for Masters of Mystery
- Best PPC Campaign — "The Global PPC Growth Engine", for Masters of Mystery
- eCommerce Agency of the Year — RiseUp Agency
You can see the full 2026 finalist listing on the UK Agency Awards shortlist page, and we keep a running record of every shortlist and win on our own awards page.
The shortlist
Two of our three finalist places recognise the search work we do for Masters of Mystery. In Best SEO Campaign, our entry is "Scaling Global Growth Through SEO". In Best PPC Campaign, it is "The Global PPC Growth Engine". The third place, eCommerce Agency of the Year, recognises RiseUp as an agency rather than a single campaign — a category that looks at the breadth and consistency of the eCommerce growth we build for clients.
Being shortlisted for both an SEO campaign and a PPC campaign in the same year matters to us. It reflects the way we actually work: paid and organic search built to support each other, and measured against commercial outcomes rather than vanity metrics.
The work behind it
The SEO and PPC entries are two halves of the same Masters of Mystery growth engine — the work that has already been recognised elsewhere this year. It is a global search programme that pairs technical SEO, content and schema with disciplined, profit-focused paid search across multiple markets.
Great search isn't about rankings or ad positions in isolation — it's about building visibility that turns into revenue.
That is the standard we hold every campaign to, and it is why a shortlist like this one is a useful marker rather than the goal itself. You can read more about the wider programme in our Masters of Mystery case study.
Judged, not just claimed
One thing we want to be clear about: this is a shortlist, not a win. The UK Agency Awards announce winners at a later ceremony, so for now we are a finalist in three categories — and we'll update this page when the winners are announced.
That honesty matters to us, but so does the track record behind the nomination. Over the past year RiseUp has won two European Search Awards 2026 and two Netty Awards 2025 for our SEO and PPC work. You can see every shortlist and win, with the categories and campaigns behind them, on our awards page.
Being named a finalist across SEO, PPC and eCommerce in a single year tells us the approach is working: search built to be commercially accountable, paid and organic pulling in the same direction, and growth measured by what it does for the business rather than by rankings or ad positions alone.
If you would like search and eCommerce growth built to the same standard, that is exactly where we can help. We are honoured to see our work recognised again, and just as motivated by what comes next.
