Nexus Inclusion: Best Collaboration Award

Our work with Nexus Inclusion was grounded in a close partnership from the very outset.

Through collaboration with their team, we designed and developed a digital platform that clearly articulates their purpose and supports meaningful engagement with their target audience. The project was shaped by shared workshops, open discussion and a collective commitment to getting digital inclusion right.

The nomination for Best Collaboration reflects the strength of that process as much as the beautiful finished website and brand.

WaterWipes: Best UX & Customer Experience Award and Best Website Award

WaterWipes is a global brand built on trust and clarity, operating in over 18 markets and 9 languages.

Our role was to ensure their digital experience reflected that same standard. Kooba delivered a streamlined, intuitive platform that simplifies navigation, sharpens product storytelling and supports customers at every stage of their journey.

Being shortlisted in both of these categories recognises the strength of this customer focused approach executed at scale.

Bon Secours Health System: Best Website Award and Best UX & Customer Experience Award

Healthcare websites need to work hard for the diverse range of users who rely on them.

For Bon Secours Health System, Kooba delivered a modern, patient focused website designed to bring clarity to complex information. The website’s navigation was rationalised, service pathways restructured and content carefully organised to help users find what they need quickly.

The dual nominations reflect both the scale of the platform and the quality of the user experience delivered.

Bord Bia Bloom: Best Website Award

Bloom is one of Ireland’s best known and much loved summer events, attracting thousands of visitors each year.

Kooba strove to deliver a digital platform that supports that scale while capturing the energy and personality of the festival itself. The website balances vibrant storytelling with practical clarity, making it easy for visitors to explore exhibitors, plan their day and purchase tickets with confidence. Central to this experience was a bespoke festival map, which streamlined wayfinding for each attendee.

Bloom’s status as a finalist in the Large Company category reflects the ambition and reach of the platform, as well as its role in supporting one of Ireland’s flagship live events.

Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission: Best Website Award and Best in Universal Design Award

Accessibility was central to our work with the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission.

We developed a clear, structured platform that reflects their statutory role while ensuring information is accessible to as many people as possible. In order to provide an intuitive experience to each user, content hierarchy, navigation and categorisation were all carefully considered and optimised.

The Killarney Park Hotel: Best Website Award

The Killarney Park Hotel is well-renowned for its exceptional luxury and personal service.

For our digital transformation project, Kooba’s goal was to reflect that experience online. The new website balances elegant visual storytelling with a seamless booking journey, allowing guests to explore the property while moving effortlessly towards reservation. As part of a wider redevelopment project, the website now serves as a key tool for promoting the Killarney Park’s exceptional hospitality.

Kooba: Digital Team of the Year Award and Large Agency of the Year Award

These are two immensely important nominations for the entire team at Kooba, and represent a year of exceptional and groundbreaking work. Over 2025, we introduced synthetic users into our research and discovery phases, strengthening evidence-based decision making across major projects. In parallel, we developed an AI visibility offering that helps clients understand and optimise how their brands appear within emerging AI platforms.

This approach has shaped work across healthcare, hospitality, FMCG and public sector clients, combining strong design thinking with measurable commercial impact. At an agency level, we have continued to grow across Dublin and Berlin while maintaining long-term client partnerships built on trust and consistency.

Plus, we’ve just launched a new UK website, as we target yet another new market!

Accesspoint: Small Agency of the Year and Best Brand Award

AccessPoint was founded to give accessibility the focus and clarity it deserves.

Launched in late 2024, the brand was built to communicate assurance, technical excellence and a genuine commitment to inclusion. It needed to speak confidently to industry specialists while remaining clear and accessible to organisations beginning their accessibility journey. Every element of the brand reflects those principles, prioritising clarity, usability and inclusive design in both message and execution.

Over its first year, AccessPoint has grown in recognition and reach, delivering accessibility compliance for a growing portfolio of clients and establishing itself as a trusted resource in the sector. The nominations for Small Agency of the Year and Best Brand Award reflect both the strength of the brand and the purpose behind it.
