GAIN named Acquia’s 2025 EMEA Strategic Marketing Excellence Partner of the Year

We're proud to share that GAIN has been named Strategic Marketing Excellence Partner of the Year – EMEA at the 2025 Partner Awards by Acquia.

The award recognises partners who have excelled in shaping and delivering impactful go-to-market strategies, joint solutions and marketing campaigns that help organisations get more value from their digital experience platforms.

A partnership built on collaboration

We’ve enjoyed working with Acquia across a range of projects over the years, collaborating closely to deliver thoughtful, experience-led marketing that puts users first while still driving commercial outcomes.

More recently, this partnership came to life through Virtua11y: At the Table, our London event in November 2025, proudly sponsored by Acquia. The event brought together a brilliant community of practitioners, leaders and advocates to have open, practical conversations about accessibility, inclusion and how we design better digital experiences for everyone.

Virtua11y: At the Table wasn’t about theory. It was about shared learning, honest discussion and creating space for people working in accessibility to connect, challenge thinking and take something tangible back into their organisations. That sense of community and purpose reflects exactly why our partnership with Acquia works so well.

What this award means

Neil Dennis, CEO at GAIN Experience, said:

We’ve really enjoyed working with Acquia as a partner, and this award reflects what we can achieve together. Virtua11y: At the Table was a great example of marketing excellence, bringing organisations like EE, the BBC, Tesco and P&G together to have meaningful conversations about accessibility and inclusive design. With plenty planned for 2026, we’re excited to keep building on this partnership.

The Strategic Marketing Excellence award celebrates partners who go beyond delivery, those who help shape strategy, connect technology to real user needs and turn collaboration into measurable impact. It’s a recognition of the joint effort between our teams and the trust built through working side by side.

Looking ahead

We’re excited to keep building on our partnership with Acquia, continuing to collaborate on work that champions accessibility, strong digital experiences and meaningful outcomes for clients and communities alike. We’re also looking ahead to what’s planned for the year and would love to see people join us.
