Barley Communications has been recognised in three categories at the UK Green Business Awards 2026, marking an exciting moment for our team and the work we deliver with our clients.
We are named in Marketing/Advertising Campaign of the Year for two campaigns that put behaviour change and public engagement front and centre. Our work with Keep Britain Tidy on the #RubbishDeal campaign tackled fly-tipping with clear, insight-led messaging designed to shift attitudes and drive action. Alongside this, our Deep Decline campaign with Oceana UK brought the impact of overfishing into sharper public focus, combining robust evidence with compelling storytelling to build momentum for marine protection.
We are also recognised in the Communications Agency of the Year category, reflecting the consistency, care and impact we bring to our work across policy, media and public affairs.
Together, this recognition speaks to how we approach sustainability communications. We believe complex issues can be communicated with clarity and confidence, without losing nuance. And when that balance is right, campaigns do more than raise awareness — they connect, resonate and lead to real change.
At a time when expectations on organisations are only increasing, communications has a vital role to play in building trust and shaping informed debate. We are proud to be working with clients who are serious about making a difference, and to see that work recognised in this way.
The awards will be announced in London later this year, bringing together leaders from across the UK’s green economy.
