A year of dramatic growth for Aberdeenshire’s innovative digital-first marketing agency, AB Fiftyone, has culminated in a flurry of recognition for its work supporting businesses across the evolving energy landscape.
Awarded the Best Digital Marketing Agency – North East at the Scottish Enterprise Awards, the team also placed as finalists in the Best Digital Marketing Agency category at the UK Small Business Awards, where Founder Pamela Miller was also highly commended in the Female Entrepreneur of the Year category.
The Scottish Enterprise Award recognises AB Fiftyone’s impact and performance across the North East in what has been a challenging time for the energy sector, and highlights the agency’s rapid growth, client success, and innovative, digital-first approach to marketing.
The accolade from Scottish Enterprise was quickly followed on the wider UK stage, placing the agency among the most recognised small marketing agencies in the country.
From its launch in 2016, AB Fiftyone has grown from a one-woman consultancy into a full-service, digital-first marketing agency delivering measurable results for major brands including Peterson, DeepOcean, Legasea, DOF and EnerMech. The business achieved a 63% year-on-year revenue increase in 2025, reflecting the growing demand for its strategic, data-led approach.
Speaking on the recognition, founder Pamela Miller said:
“Winning Best Digital Marketing Agency for North East Scotland was a huge moment for us, especially alongside recognition of our work at the UK Small Business Awards.
This business was born out of redundancy during the oil and gas downturn, at a time when flexible, senior marketing roles simply didn’t exist. To now be working with some of the largest companies in the very sector that made me redundant, and being recognised for it, is incredibly meaningful.
Being highly commended as a female entrepreneur is a personal accolade that makes the hard work worthwhile and is a reminder that building something sustainably, honestly, and with real purpose can pay off. We’re proud of what we’ve built so far and we’re only just getting started.”
Known for its straight-talking, collaborative and results-driven approach, AB Fiftyone specialises in helping energy and engineering businesses strengthen their digital footprint, increase visibility, and turning online activity into commercial impact.
With multiple award recognitions now under its belt, AB Fiftyone enters 2026 with strong momentum and ambitious growth plans.
