Founder of Wow Group of Companies, Cas Majid, has joined forces with Anita Chumber and Ifraz Ahmed of B Events to launch the National Digital Awards in Birmingham. The black tie event is set to take place in May 2026 at The Birmingham Conference and Events Centre and Holiday Inn – over 500 people from the industry are expected to be in attendance.
Digital agencies have navigated huge disruption over the last five years – shifting government policies, economic uncertainty, and the rapid advent of artificial intelligence. With 24 years experience in this space, Cas Majid is no stranger to those pressures. He has witnessed, firsthand, the evolution of digital businesses and the thick skin of the people who run them. The National Digital Awards, in his view, is an epistle to the industry.
“I’ve seen an awful lot. The dot-com crash, a global pandemic, the generative AI boom; running a digital business in this climate is hard work. And sometimes it’s thankless, too. I want to change this with the National Digital Awards. Talent in our industry deserves to be celebrated; because without digital genius, businesses as we know them, would crumble”. – Cas Majid.
The awards will celebrate excellence across website and digital products, platforms and technology innovation, specialist agencies, agency talent and culture, and digital campaign performance – with recognition for both small and large businesses across the sector.
Partnering on this initiative is acclaimed events company B Events, which has delivered leading business events across the Midlands for over a decade, building a standout reputation in the process. Led by Anita Chumber and Ifraz Ahmed, B Events is known for quality content and memorable hospitality. Their events regularly sell out, each designed to honour a specific niche or industry.
“We’ve hosted a number of successful business events over the years; but nothing that is solely focused on the digital industry and the talent within it. I think we’re all a little guilty of taking digital businesses for granted, especially when a lot of the work is done behind-the-scenes. But Cas has inspired us to draw attention to this. With his contacts and expertise in the digital industry, and our experience of delivering events that attendees won’t soon forget, we’re sure to give Birmingham something it has never seen before”. – Ifraz Ahmed.
The team has thoughtfully selected a judging panel of twelve exceptional leaders which is being slowly revealed to the public. The panel includes Stephen Knight of Pimento, Chris Bantock of The Agency Adventure, and Manish Kapur of Manish Kapur Consulting among other exciting names.
Nominations for the awards are officially open, and industry professionals are advised to nominate their peers, colleagues and employees using National Digital Award’s website – finalists will be announced on 9th March 2026.
Awards Ceremony: 22nd May 2026.
