The global awards run by thenetworkone are designed to celebrate creative excellence in the independent agency sector across the marketing, communications, and advertising industry. The global network announced the winners of the top creative and talent for 2026 at their Awards Ceremony hosted in London at Four Communications and virtually broadcast to over 100 countries on 28th January 2026.
The Kite Factory were announced as the silver winner in the Independent Agency of the Year category.
Kyle Seeley, Co-CEO comments: “We are thrilled to win Silver at The Indie Agency Awards. In a year where much of the industry faced consolidation and contraction, we proved that independence isn’t a limitation , it’s a competitive edge. Our fifth consecutive year of growth, alongside new client partnerships, product innovation and a strengthened leadership team, reflects the power of staying disciplined in how we grow and focused on where we create the most value. This recognition is a testament to our people, our clients and our belief that independent, creative and effective media can scale sustainably and consistently.”
Thenetworkone comments: “These awards are designed to honour and amplify the entrepreneurial spirit of independent agencies. But this is about far more than creativity alone. Independent agencies are competing – and winning – on the international stage against the largest holding companies and networks in the world. What continues to set this community apart, especially in the 2026 edition of our awards, is its supportive, warm atmosphere and its deeply human approach to business. That combination is powerful, and it’s exactly what these winners represent.”
