Double celebration!🏆

It's a triple celebration for Key Lime PR & Marketing, as two of our clients, Visit Staines and Your Billericay, have been shortlisted for three awards at the National BID Awards 2026.

The shortlist recognises the impact of Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) across the country, celebrating initiatives that bring businesses and communities together, create memorable experiences and help town centres thrive.

We're delighted to see both clients recognised for projects we've had the pleasure of supporting, from creative campaigns and PR to full-scale event management and ongoing BID marketing.

Visit Staines: Best Event of the Year

Visit Staines has been shortlisted in the Best Event of the Year category for its spectacular Luminarium event, which brought a unique and immersive experience to the town.

Key Lime supported the event with a comprehensive marketing and communications campaign, designing all creative assets and delivering PR, social media content and influencer activity to help generate excitement, raise awareness and encourage visitors to experience the attraction.

The nomination is fantastic recognition of an ambitious event that offered something truly different for Staines-upon-Thames.

Your Billericay: Best New BID and Best Event of the Year

It's a double celebration for Your Billericay, which has been shortlisted in both categories it entered: Best New BID and Best Event of the Year, the latter recognising National Billericay Day.

As Your Billericay's marketing partner, Key Lime delivers a wide range of ongoing services, including social media management, website content and updates, newsletters, business liaison, events and PR.

The Best New BID nomination recognises the work undertaken to establish Your Billericay, build its profile and create meaningful connections between local businesses and the wider community.

The second nomination celebrates National Billericay Day, a major community celebration that brought the town together through a parade, entertainment and activities.

Key Lime managed the event from start to finish, overseeing its planning, organisation, promotion and delivery to create a memorable day for the town.

Our team also prepared and submitted Your Billericay's entries for both award categories, writing the applications and creating the supporting documents to showcase the BID's achievements.

Celebrating the power of great places and partnerships

For Key Lime, these nominations are a fantastic reflection of what can be achieved through creative thinking, effective marketing, strong partnerships and well-delivered events.

Working closely with BIDs is a key part of what we do, helping destinations raise their profile, engage businesses, attract visitors and deliver activities that make a real difference to their communities.

We're incredibly proud to see Visit Staines and Your Billericay recognised on a national stage and delighted to have played a part in their success.

Congratulations to both teams and everyone involved. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed for the awards!
