Workshop Digital Celebrate their US Search Awards Win: Best Small PPC Agency 2025
We are proud to share that Workshop Digital has been named Best Small PPC Agency 2025 at the prestigious US Search Awards. This honor recognizes not only the impact of our paid media campaigns but also the people and processes that make Workshop Digital unique.
Beyond the trophy, this recognition affirms an approach we’ve been honing for a decade: human-centered, data-driven PPC backed by transparent reporting and experimentation.
We also want to recognize the Don’t Panic team for a smooth, clear, and supportive process, from entry guidance to finalists’ comms and the winners’ announcement.
About Workshop Digital
Founded in 2015 and located in Richmond, Virginia, Workshop Digital is a digital marketing agency specializing in paid media, SEO, and Analytics strategies that help businesses grow.
Our philosophy is simple: combine data-driven decision making with a human-first approach. Every campaign we build is rooted in measurable impact but customized to the goals, challenges, and people behind the brand.
We are proud to work with clients across industries, from healthcare and manufacturing to B2B and ecommerce. Our small size allows us to remain agile, innovative, and deeply collaborative… qualities that helped us stand out in this year’s awards.
The Digital Marketing Work That Won
This award recognizes consistent excellence across our paid media portfolio, which we are excited to share. Here are a few highlights from our past year:
- Results consistency: In the first half of 2025, 99% of Paid Media client KPIs were on track, driven by smarter testing, creative iteration, and tighter feedback loops between media, CRO, and analytics.
- Breadth of excellence: In addition to the agency win, Workshop Digital was named finalists in five categories across PPC and SEO, underscoring impact in data use, vertical expertise, and budget stewardship: Best Use of Data (PPC); Best Use of Search – Finance (PPC); Best Use of Search – B2B (PPC); Best Low Budget Campaign (PPC); and Best Local Campaign (SEO).
What ties our work together is a commitment to strategic partnership. We build measurement frameworks aligned to business outcomes, ensure clean pipelines from ad click to revenue, and maintain shared visibility so stakeholders can make fast, confident decisions. When the landscape shifts—privacy changes, platform betas, auctions—we adapt the plan, not the goal.
“It is a special honor to receive the “Best Small PPC Agency” US Search Award in our 10th year of business. While Workshop is more than a PPC Agency, our Paid Media team has consistently delivered best-in-class results. Additionally, the team has continued to adapt to the evolving paid media ecosystem, incorporating paid social, landing page testing, and programmatic offerings over the past decade. I’m very proud of this team, and of this company, for the passion they bring to the digital marketing space every single day.”
— Brian Forrester, Co-Founder & CEO
