Celia Kelly, the self-taught digital marketing expert behind Maidstone-based agency Twister Marketing, has been awarded a 2026 Global Recognition Award for exceptional achievement in digital marketing service delivery and innovation.
Each year, over 15,000 businesses apply for this prestigious award - yet only 5.8% of applicants receive recognition following evaluation by an independent judging panel. This puts Celia and Twister Marketing in an elite group of organisations demonstrating world-class capability in helping businesses grow sustainably in an increasingly competitive digital landscape.
Celia Kelly, who left Maplesden Noakes School at just 16, is entirely self-trained in the marketing industry. Since founding Twister Marketing, she has helped small and medium-sized businesses transform underperforming websites into powerful lead-generation tools through strategic SEO, intelligent web design, and long-term digital growth planning.
“Twister Marketing has demonstrated a rare combination of technical expertise and client-focused service delivery that produces genuinely measurable outcomes for businesses,” said Alex Sterling, spokesperson for the Global Recognition Awards. “Their ability to consistently secure top rankings for commercially valuable search terms while maintaining a sustainable, long-term approach sets them apart in a field often characterised by short-term thinking.”
Exceptional Results for Local Businesses
Twister Marketing’s approach prioritises long-term growth over short-term ranking spikes. The agency has achieved outstanding results for clients across Kent and beyond, including:
Glow World - Secured the number one organic position on Google UK for the competitive term “glow in the dark t-shirts for kids”, boosting online sales and brand visibility in a crowded e-commerce sector.
Everyday Play - Achieved top rankings on Google search for ‘SEND Playground Installers’, ‘Kent Playground Company’ “Playground Equipment in Kent”, driving consistent regional enquiries.
Maidstone Tree Surgeons - Now ranks first across multiple local search terms including Tree Surgeons, Tree Surgery Services, Tree Felling, and Tree Pruning in Maidstone and surrounding areas, creating lasting local authority.
“These examples are just a few of the keyphrases we’ve picked out for clients,” Celia explains, “but the results we’re seeing across the board are phenomenal, and demonstrate how a sustainable, strategic approach to digital marketing can drive real business growth.”
Building Sustainable Online Authority
Twister Marketing combines technical SEO fundamentals, intelligent site architecture, and buyer-focused content to attract the right visitors at the right time - rather than just chasing high traffic numbers.
Celia’s methodology ensures websites meet both user expectations and search engine requirements while building long-term visibility, authority, and measurable business impact. This approach has helped Kent-based businesses compete effectively against larger competitors with substantial advertising budgets.
A Bright Future Ahead
The Global Recognition Award recognises not only Twister Marketing’s past achievements but also the strong foundation Celia has built for continued excellence. Twister Marketing remains committed to helping businesses increase enquiries, improve search visibility, and strengthen market positioning through innovative and sustainable digital marketing strategies.
