AD Marketing Group Named Finalist in Three Categories at the South Wales Business Awards 2026

We have been shortlisted in three categories at the 2026 South Wales Business Awards.

• Business Services Business of the Year (SME)
• Workplace of the Year (SME)
• Female Entrepreneur of the Year (SME), for our director Alix Charles

The South Wales Business Awards run across more than twenty categories and cover businesses from Swansea through to Newport, from micro businesses through to some of the largest employers in the region. The shortlist this year includes Ogi, Cardiff Airport and Storage Giant, so it is decent company to be in. Winners are announced on Friday 18 September at the Hilton in Cardiff, hosted by Sara Edwards.

What it means to us

Alix Charles, director:

We entered because the team put good work in this year and it deserved to be put forward. Three shortlists is a strong result and we are pleased with it. Beyond that, we will let the judges decide.

AD Marketing Group is an SEO and PPC agency based in Swansea, working with businesses across South Wales and further afield. Most of what gets you onto a shortlist is fairly unglamorous: turning up, doing the work properly, and being straight with clients about what is and is not working. Thank you to every client who has trusted us with their marketing this year. None of the three entries would have had anything to write about without you. We are hiring at the moment. Current vacancies are listed on our careers page.
