Agilita Digital Founder Shortlisted For Yorkshire Young Professionals Awards

Alex Humphries, founder of Agilita Digital, has been shortlisted for Marketing and Media Professional of the Year at the Insider Yorkshire Young Professionals Awards 2026.

Organised by Insider Media, the awards celebrate younger business talent aged 35 and under from across Yorkshire. This year has attracted a record number of entries, with Alex named as one of ten finalists in the category.

The nomination comes off the back of a strong first year in business for the 33-year-old, who launched Agilita Digital in March 2025. The first 12 months saw Alex deliver projects for clients across Yorkshire and beyond, including North Oxfordshire Heating, Yorkshire Fabric Shop, Church’s Performance Cars, and disabled Britcar driver Julian McBride. Rooted in agile principles, Agilita Digital aims to help businesses move away from guesswork and towards clearer, more accountable performance from their marketing efforts.

On his inclusion on the shortlist, Alex said:

“It’s come as a huge surprise, but I’m absolutely thrilled to be nominated alongside some incredible marketing talent from the region.

I’ve really enjoyed my first 12 months in business, and I’m proud of the results I’ve delivered for my clients so far, and the excellent relationships I have with them.

I’m looking forward to attending the event in a few weeks time, and whilst I don’t expect to win at all, of course I’ve got my fingers crossed!”

The Insider Yorkshire Young Professionals Awards 2026 ceremony will take place on Wednesday 10 June 2026 at Headingley Stadium, where winners will be announced.
