We shine the spotlight on emc3, which was named Best Global Agency at the micebook Awards 2026…
The emc3 Collective is built on a simple belief: moments only matter if they create momentum.
And 2025 was certainly a momentous year. The business evolved from a single-agency model into the emc3 Collective, bringing together emc3, From Now, BEG and emc3 Life to create a more connected proposition combining strategy, creative ambition and embedded sustainability.
That transformation helped drive the group’s strongest year yet, generating more than £26m in turnover, 30% year-on-year growth, £500k+ operating profit and over 50,000 attendees across emc3-designed experiences. The group also secured 11 new clients, expanded its US footprint, acquired Boston Experiential Group and launched emc3 Life to bring its human-centred approach into healthcare and life sciences.
Judges praised the business for its strong sense of ambition and modernity, highlighting the Collective’s future-facing vision around global collaboration and transformation.
One judge noted that emc3 delivered the highest year-on-year financial growth of all entrants, while another described its people and planet submission as the strongest in the category.
That commitment is evident throughout the business. Alongside its commercial success, emc3 Collective achieved 93.8% team satisfaction, invested heavily in learning and development, secured EcoVadis Gold and grew the emc3 forest to more than 22,000 trees.
As the group puts it: “We’re not trying to be the biggest agency in the industry. We’re building the one trusted when the moment cannot be wasted.”
