# Whizzy Digital Named Best Marketing Agency in USA & EMEA by the Stellar Business Awards | Whizzy Digital > Our Kumasi team has been recognised by the Stellar Business Awards as Best Marketing Agency in USA & EMEA. What the award means for our clients. URL: https://whizzydigital.com/blog/whizzy-digital-named-best-marketing-agency-stellar-business-awards/ Last-Modified: 2026-06-24 Author: Kwabena Mensah Whizzy Digital has been named Best Marketing Agency in USA & EMEA by the Stellar Business Awards. The recognition covers a competitive field across two large regions, and it went to a team that works out of Kumasi. We want to say what that does and does not mean, because agency awards are easy to over-sell. ## What the award recognises The Stellar Business Awards assess agencies on the substance of their client work rather than on portfolio aesthetics. For us that meant our local SEO programme [/local-seo/ →](/local-seo/) : the bundled Local Growth Package, the multi-branch healthcare work across Accra, Kumasi, Ho and Takoradi, and the build specification we use for client websites — topical architecture, 20+ schema types, and the AI-agent-ready markdown layer that lets ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini read and cite a business. ![The Stellar Business Awards certificate on a desk at the Kumasi office](/images/content/stellar-business-awards-certificate-displayed-on-a.webp) That last part was the piece we were least sure would be understood. AI search readiness is still treated as a novelty by a lot of the industry, and we have spent two years arguing that it is infrastructure. Having it counted as a differentiator in an international assessment was quietly satisfying. ## Why an award from outside Ghana matters here There is a specific problem this helps with. Ghanaian businesses shopping for a marketing agency have almost no reliable way to verify claims. Anyone can say they rank clients. Anyone can show a screenshot. Buyers have been burned often enough that scepticism is the default, and rightly so. An independent assessment by a body with no stake in our client relationships is one of the few externally checkable signals available. It sits alongside the things you can verify yourself: our Google rating, the live profiles of businesses we manage, and whether the guides on this site tell you anything genuinely useful before you have paid us anything. > **What this does not mean** > > It does not mean guaranteed rankings, and we still will not promise them. Any agency that guarantees a number-one position is telling you something they cannot control. ## The Kumasi part The award says USA & EMEA. The team is in Kumasi. That combination is the part we are most pleased about, because it undercuts an assumption that persists both inside and outside Ghana — that world-standard digital work happens somewhere else and gets imported. It does not have to. Our innovation hub has spent seven years training digital marketing talent in the Ashanti Region, and most of the people delivering client accounts came through it. ![Trainees working in the Whizzy innovation hub in Kumasi](/images/content/ghanaian-digital-marketing-trainees-working-in-the.webp) That pipeline is why we can run daily Google Business Profile management across a client base rather than the monthly touch most agencies default to. It is a staffing model as much as a service model. ## What changes for clients Nothing about the pricing, and nothing about the terms. The Local Growth Package remains $599 for the first month, then $299 per month for up to two locations and $99 per additional branch. No setup fee, no lock-in. What does change is the evidence available to a business deciding whether to trust us. If you have been putting off a decision because you could not tell one agency’s claims from another’s, this is one more thing you can check independently.

That work is slow, and it takes trust to fund it before the graph moves. **Want to see where your business currently stands?** — Try our free Local SEO Audit Tool [/local-seo-audit-tool/ →](/local-seo-audit-tool/) - #company-news - #award - #kumasi Related service ## Local SEO Get found in the Google Map Pack, organic search and AI search with a fully managed local SEO programme.
