CARY, NC, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hummingbird Creative Group, a full-service branding agency based in Cary, North Carolina, has been named Best Small Agency of the Year and Integrated Agency of the Year at the 2026 US Agency Awards.
Entering its 32nd year, the certified Woman-Owned enterprise was recognized by an independent panel of top industry professionals for its ability to turn strategic branding into measurable business outcomes. Demonstrating remarkable operational agility, Hummingbird achieved a 24% increase in gross revenue in Q1 2026 over the previous year while successfully expanding its client base across multiple new industry verticals.
“There is a clear strength in their operational adroitness, agile client acquisition, and impressive outcome delivery," noted the US Agency Awards judging panel. "They presented clear objectives with measurable targets, demonstrating strong growth, compelling value, and high-impact client achievements like guiding a firm through a successful Private Equity acquisition."
This dual win recognizes Hummingbird’s ability to deliver sophisticated, integrated marketing solutions and measurable business impact with agility, strategic focus, and personal attention. This places Hummingbird among the country’s leading agencies and reinforces a philosophy the agency has championed for more than three decades: great work requires the right people, the right strategy, and an unwavering commitment to client success.

"Winning Best Small Agency of the Year and Integrated Agency of the Year proves that size isn't a barrier to enterprise impact. Our strength lies in our intimate team, our average employee tenure, and our focus on moving business goals forward through integrated strategy."
