The famous awards return on the 14th May 2026 at Emirates Old Trafford with a live ceremony where the winners will be revealed.
Who’s on the Prolific North awards panel?
This year’s Prolific North Champions Awards panel brings together an impressive mix of industry experts, from well-known brands and organisations, such as:
- Warburtons
- Kellogs
- Formula 1
- CLOUD NINE
- AO retail

Amongst the panel will also be several Directors and Partners from a number of digital agencies, alongside a Digital Marketing & Innovative Lead lecturer from the University of Salford. This ensures that all award entries are assessed from both a commercial and strategic perspective.
Not-for-profit campaign of the year
Our long-standing client, Anchor, has been shortlisted for the not-for-profit campaign of the year for successfully closing the digital trust gap in the care sector. Anchor is England’s largest provider of tailored housing and care for those in later life. They have held this position since 2018, when we led their site migration that merged Anchor and Hanover into a single platform. Anchor first onboarded with Fusion in 2014, and following the 2018 migration, we saw further results and performance improvements. We’ve continued to lead Anchor’s SEO marketing strategy ever since.
What this means for our client – and for us
Being shortlisted means that Anchor’s campaign has been recognised as one of the strongest in the North this year by senior industry experts. This is more than just glowing feedback; it’s a third-party endorsement from the marketing industry that helps position Anchor as a leader in the care industry. It reinforces trust and credibility with residents and their families, as well as partners and funders.
For Fusion Unlimited, this is a proud moment and an opportunity to say that our work is award-recognised. The Prolific North Awards recognise the best organisations, work and teams across the North’s digital marketing sectors, and we’re delighted to be a part of that!
