We are thrilled to announce that our Founder and CEO, Chelsea Pinches-Burrowes, has been crowned Creative Entrepreneur of the Year at the prestigious Great British Entrepreneur Awards. This incredible achievement marks a defining moment for WCS Agency and Cardiff Life, and cements Chelsea’s position as one of the most innovative and influential leaders in the marketing industry today.
This award, sponsored by Allica Bank, celebrates outstanding creativity, innovation and bold ideas – qualities that define everything we do at WCS. From delivering impactful campaigns to driving growth across multiple industries, this recognition reflects not just leadership, but the collaborative spirit of the agency as a whole.
A Year of Creativity and Growth
This recognition caps off a record-breaking year for WCS Agency. We’ve launched standout campaigns for household names such as The Ivy Cardiff, Oldwalls Collection and Team Wales – Commonwealth Games, while continuing to innovate with new clients such as The Ivy Clifton.
Creativity is at the heart of our success, and this year’s highlights include:
- Expanding into new territories and industries with a growing client roster.
- Achieving significant internal milestones, including five promotions and the creation of three new roles in just nine months.
- Delivering trend-led campaigns that have driven measurable results for our clients.
Beyond WCS Agency, Cardiff Life has had a phenomenal year. On social media alone in the last quarter, Cardiff Life achieved an incredible 7.9 million views, 227,000 interactions, and a 17.3% increase in followers, demonstrating the strength of our audience engagement strategies. We’ve also just launched our second Christmas edition, with a cover created in collaboration with Cardiff Christmas Festival – a perfect example of how we bring creative ideas and local partnerships to life.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for WCS in 2025
This year’s successes are the foundation for our next chapter. As we head into 2025, we have exciting plans to:
- Launch a User-Generated Content (UGC) talent agency
- Expand our creative services to continue delivering campaigns that are bold, innovative and results-driven.
- Further establish WCS as a leader in the marketing industry, while staying true to our roots in Wales.
