Applications close at 12pm BST on Monday 11th May 2026.

Apply Here!

We’re giving away a full day of agency work, for free.

One Day Onward is our commitment to smaller, impact-driven organisations who are out there creating real change, but don't always have the communications firepower to match.

For one full day, our entire team could be yours.

It might be help with defining your brand, stress-testing your existing strategy, generating new ideas, or simply finding the right words to share your mission with the world. We’re open to any challenge where creativity or communications thinking can make a difference.

Here's what you need to know:

  • We'll work on a challenge or brief the winner sets us on the last Friday of May. 9am–5pm, all day. We'll present the work at 5pm, or when's good for you the following week.

  • You choose the focus beforehand. If you're not sure where to start, we'll help you figure it out.

  • You could be a charity, an impact-driven start-up, or something else. So long as you’re moving the world onward, we want to hear from you.

  • 1. The Promoter
    The promoter is Onward Global Ltd (“Onward”), a company registered in England and Wales.


    2. Eligibility

    • The competition is open to organisations (businesses, charities, or non-profits) operating in the UK and Europe.

    • Entrants must be aged 18 or over.

    • Employees of Onward, their families, or anyone professionally connected to the competition are excluded from entering.

    3. How to Enter & Deadlines

    • Entry is free of charge and no purchase is necessary.

    • To enter, applicants must fill out the official Google Form.

    • Deadline: Applications close at 12pm BST on Monday 11th May. Any entries received after this point will not be included in this application pool.

    4. Winner Selection

    • One winner will be selected by a panel of Onward employees, with one vote each. Selection will be determined by a consensus vote, prioritising briefs where our agency can make the most immediate and positive impact.

    • Winners will be notified via email within 2 days of the closing date. If a winner does not respond within 2 working days, Onward reserves the right to select an alternative winner.

    5. The Prize: "One Day Onward"

    • The prize consists of one working day of agency time (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM local time) on the last Friday of the calendar month.

    • Pre-work: Onward will host a brief introductory virtual meeting earlier that week to establish a project brief.

    • Execution: The client determines the brief, or Onward can collaborate to define it. Onward will present the completed work on the Friday.

    • Location: The day will default to virtual delivery. If the winner requests an in-person day, this is subject to feasibility and travel constraints (Onward staff are based in London and Amsterdam) and must be mutually agreed upon. Any travel/hospitality costs for in-person requests are not covered by Onward unless agreed in writing.

    6. Intellectual Property & Publicity

    • Your Ownership: All work produced by Onward during the day belongs to the winning organisation. It will not carry Onward branding.
