Our collaboration has redefined how a specialist manufacturer engages with its audiences, using a multi-channel approach to connect decades of heritage with a new generation of sports car ownership. At the heart of this partnership lies a simple principle: *genuine collaboration drives exceptional outcomes*. By embedding Rika’s multidisciplinary teams within Caterham’s business, the relationship has matured into one of open communication, mutual accountability and shared success, the very essence of client excellence. ### Recognition for a client-first philosophy From our earliest days, Rika’s philosophy has been clear: success is built on **long-term relationships** grounded in **transparency, honesty and partnership**. This nomination is a validation of that belief, recognising not only the results we deliver, but the way we work alongside our clients. “We’ve always said that clients don’t just come to us for what we do, but for how we do it,” said James Beeson, Co-Founder and Consulting Partner at Rika. “Our partnership with Caterham shows what’s possible when strategy, creativity and technology align around a shared vision, and when agency and client truly operate as one.” ### About The Drum Awards The Drum Awards for Agency Business celebrate the people, teams and partners driving excellence across the marketing industry, recognising not just creative outcomes, but leadership, culture and collaboration. Being shortlisted for **Excellence in Client Relations** underscores Rika’s ongoing commitment to measurable results from genuine partnership, principles that define our approach and continue to guide every client relationship. --- ## More from this category [ ![](https://www.rk.rikadigital.co.uk/images/News%20and%20Articles/Drum-Indie%20100-Article%20Hero.jpg) ](https://www.rk.rikadigital.co.uk/news/ten-years-of-rika-and-a-place-in-the-drums-global-indie-100) 15 September 2026 ### [Ten Years of Rika and a place in The Drum’s Global Indie 100](https://www.rk.rikadigital.co.uk/news/ten-years-of-rika-and-a-place-in-the-drums-global-indie-100) [Read more](https://www.rk.rikadigital.co.uk/news/ten-years-of-rika-and-a-place-in-the-drums-global-indie-100) [ ![Rika 2025 Wrapped header graphic](https://www.rk.rikadigital.co.uk/images/blogs/News-Article-Header.png) ](https://www.rk.rikadigital.co.uk/news/2025-wrapped-rika-project-highlights) 10 December 2025 ### [2025 Wrapped: Rika project highlights](https://www.rk.rikadigital.co.uk/news/2025-wrapped-rika-project-highlights) [Read more](https://www.rk.rikadigital.co.uk/news/2025-wrapped-rika-project-highlights) [ ![](https://www.rk.rikadigital.co.uk/images/News%20and%20Articles/01%20Drum%20Image.jpg) ](https://www.rk.rikadigital.co.uk/news/drum-predictions-2026-fundamentals) 02 February 2026 ### [The Drum Predictions 2026: Why the fundamentals matter more than ever](https://www.rk.rikadigital.co.uk/news/drum-predictions-2026-fundamentals) [Read more](https://www.rk.rikadigital.co.uk/news/drum-predictions-2026-fundamentals) ## Subscribe to Our Newsletter ### Ready to work together?
