We are absolutely delighted to announce that Coolr has been crowned ‘Social Media Agency of the Year 2024’ at last week’s prestigious UK Agency Awards! 🎉 This monumental achievement is a testament to the incredible work our team delivers day in and day out, and we couldn’t be prouder of this collective success and to be named an award-winning social media agency.
Winning this award marks a huge milestone for Coolr and is a reflection of the dedication, creativity, and hard work that our entire team has put in over the past year. It’s no small feat to be recognised in such a competitive industry, and this honour wouldn’t have been possible without the tireless efforts of every single person at Coolr. From innovative social media campaigns to bold creative strategies, our team has consistently pushed the boundaries, making this recognition all the more special. Huge kudos to each and every one of you for making this possible! 🙌
This past year has seen us accomplish incredible things, from our TikTok Ad Award-winning work with Lidl, which set a new benchmark for creativity and engagement, to our ongoing partnerships with Britvic, Deliveroo, and Samsung, where we consistently deliver top-performing content that drives real results. The team has been relentless in producing content that not only captivates but also performs – proving time and again that Coolr is at the forefront of social media.
Of course, we wouldn’t be here without our incredible clients, partners, and supporters who have been with us throughout this journey. Your trust and belief in what we do has played a massive role in our success, and we are deeply grateful. 🚀
Finally, a massive shout-out to Don’t Panic Events for hosting such an unforgettable night! 💥

ITV’s The 1% Club has re-appointed us to manage its social media for the third season of their award-winning show, hosted by Lee Mack!
We successfully led the social media for season 2, securing the #1 trending spot in the UK on X (Twitter), and landing in the top 5 UK trends another six times during the show’s 8 week run.
In The 1% Club, 100 contestants begin every show – but to make it to the end and win the top prize of up to £100,000, contestants must correctly answer questions based on “logic and common sense” that get progressively harder each round. It culminates with a question that only 1% of the UK population can answer.
We cant wait for The 1% Club to return this Saturday 17th February on ITV1 at 8:50pm! 🎉
We had a fantastic debut ‘First Thursday’ at Coolr this morning, our new monthly company-wide meeting, diving deep into the vibrant world of Social. 🌐
Here are some key discussions that caught our attention: 👀
1️⃣ Audio on TikTok – what’s next? 🎵
TikTok, a tool for emerging artists, faces a twist with Universal cutting all its music on the app. Will this change the dynamics for smaller music artists moving forward and how will we all cope without Taylor Swift’s music on TT? We’re hopeful for a positive solution…

At the beginning of January, I was given the opportunity to represent Coolr at Samsung’s Unpacked event in San Jose, California for the launch of their new Samsung Galaxy S24.
On this trip, I captured social-first content for Samsung UK’s TikTok channel, accompanied two of our #TeamGalaxy brand ambassadors – both of which won Best Creator prizes – and explored a completely new city and country, pushing myself out of my comfort zone (one of my New Years’ resolutions!).
We were the first to get hands on with the new device, so keep an eye out on @SamsungUK TikTok for all of the upcoming content 👀
I’m so grateful to have been given this opportunity, and to work with such a forward-thinking, innovative tech client for all things social.
Excited for what else is in store for 2024…
