Beach Retreats Wins Multiple Awards at International Content Marketing Awards

Cornwall-based self-catering specialist Beach Retreats has picked up multiple awards at the International Content Marketing Awards for its 2025 campaign, Your Beach. Found.

The awards were announced on 22nd January 2026 at Landing Forty Two in London, following judging by a panel of 170 brand leaders and senior marketers from around the world.

International recognition for Cornish campaign

Beach Retreats won Best Content Campaign and Best Content Team, as well as achieving Silver in the Grand-Prix for In-House Agency. The International Content Marketing Awards are among the largest and longest-running awards in the global marketing industry, with entries from organisations across the world.

The Your Beach. Found campaign was created to highlight why choosing the right beach matters and to help guests make the most of their time on Cornwall’s coastline.

Connecting guests with the right beach

As part of the campaign, audiences were invited to find their ideal coastal match through an interactive “Beach Match” quiz, designed to connect travellers with a beach that suits their holiday style.

Beach Retreats worked alongside hyper-local Cornish businesses, influencers, and creative partners to produce content celebrating the individuality of each beach, while also highlighting nearby properties within the company’s portfolio. Each piece of content focused on personal stories and local character, aiming to strengthen connections between guests, places and stays.

The campaign achieved a combined social reach of 5.7 million, drove bookings, and supported Cornwall’s visitor economy.

Further awards success

In December 2025, Beach Retreats also won Best Small Company for UK Holiday Home Rentals at the British Travel Awards. The recent series of wins recognises both guest experience and the work of the company’s marketing and creative team.

Responding to the latest awards, Beach Retreats Head of Marketing Katy Austin-Waters said:
“We are so proud to win Best Content Campaign, Best Content Team and Silver for Grand-Prix In-House Agency and to be recognised amongst national and international marketing campaigns. Our team is dedicated to delivering world-class marketing for our property owners and are always striving to inspire our beach loving tribe of followers with unique, creative and useful content. We have really enjoyed collaborating with local businesses and creatives to produce a campaign that resonates with people around the world and puts Cornwall on the map.”
