For almost 2 decades, Okanagan residents used to vote on the best companies in the region through Okanagan Life Magazine's Readers' Choice Awards. It was a time to celebrate local businesses and, for a very brief moment, reflect on the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into building a business.
In 2015, Twin Creek Media was chosen as the Best Software/Web Design Company in the Central Okanagan! We were pretty happy about that.
We framed the award and took a cool photo; James, Erica, Christina, and Thomas did their best CSI pose. And then we got back to work!
Twin Creek wasn’t built to win awards. But after 20 years, none of this happens by accident. James and I built something with integrity at the center and trusted the people around us to hold that standard. At the end of the day, it’s not the agency that’s award-winning: it’s the team.

What It's Been Like Since Our 2015 Win
That win turned out to be the first in a line. We've never been a trophy-hunting operation. Most of our energy goes into client work, not award applications, which is maybe why the recognition that keeps showing up feels like a byproduct. You do good work long enough, with awesome clients, then you get great results... and people start to notice!
- The 2022 Summit Creative Award came for Best of Category in Website Redesign, a competition judged on marketing effectiveness, not just how things look. Same year, DotCom Magazine named TCM an Impact Company of the Year.
- In 2024, the Netty Award for Small Agency of the Year, Canada Region landed. That one meant something, because it's judged by people who understand what a small agency is actually up against. TechBehemoths named us a Top 10 Global Leader in Web Design.
- In 2025, Clutch recognized us as a Top Advertising Company in BC, and the Canadian Choice Award added another verified recognition!
- Best of Kelowna delivered 3 Bronze wins: 2025 for Best Web Design Agency, and 2026 for both Best Marketing Agency and Best Web Design Agency.
And the list goes on:

What These Awards Are All About
None of this is about being the biggest agency in BC. We're definitely not. We're a team of 12, working with one client per region and industry at a time, with client relationships that average 4.7 years... because that's what it takes to build something that compounds!
Kelowna is full of incredible businesses built by even more incredible people, and we've had the pleasure of working alongside a lot of them. We're in good company... that part hasn't changed since 2015!
To our friends, clients, neighbours, co-workers, envelope-pushers, educators, and leaders: GO TEAM.
