We are excited to share that Workshop Digital has been named the Best Small PPC Agency in the 2025 US Search Awards.

What Sets Workshop Digital Apart
At Workshop Digital, we’re committed to building a better agency—one that lives its values every day, not just lists them. We give our team the flexibility and support they need to thrive, including a 4-day workweek and dedicated volunteer time off to give back to our local communities.
In an AI-driven world, we believe our humanity is what makes the difference and sets us apart. That is why our paid media team stays grounded in their vision: to humanize the digital marketing experience while driving business growth. Sometimes that means crafting creative messaging strategies; other times it means connecting the dots with first-party data that deliver clear, ROI-focused reporting.
No matter the tactic, our mindset stays the same: we act as true strategic partners, helping clients navigate complex lead-generation challenges and turn them into measurable growth. This approach is why we achieved record-breaking results—like having 99% of Paid Media client KPIs on track in the first half of 2025.
“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 and CEO
