DaysLikeThis.Life Shortlisted for Two Social Media Marketing Awards

It’s been an incredible few days for all of us at DaysLikeThis.Life, and we’re delighted to share some exciting news.

We’ve officially been shortlisted in two categories at the Social Media Marketing Awards:

• Creator & Personal Brand

• Small Business

To say we’re proud would be an understatement.

When we started sharing our family adventures, we never imagined it would grow into what it has become today. What began as a passion for documenting days out, family life and the places we love has developed into a thriving family media business, reaching millions of people and working with fantastic destinations and brands across the UK and beyond.

These awards recognise far more than follower numbers or viral videos. They celebrate creativity, strategy, storytelling and the ability to build genuine relationships with audiences through social media. To be recognised alongside some of the UK’s leading agencies, brands and creators is a huge honour.

A True Family Effort

One of the things that makes DaysLikeThis.Life so special is that it has always been a family project.

DaysLikeThis.Life was founded by broadcaster, author and content creator Brett Orchard, but it has always been a genuine family project. Vikki, George, William and, of course, Lola are at the heart of everything we create.

Our audience has watched the boys grow, celebrated milestones with us and joined us as we’ve explored Bristol, the South West, Spain and countless hidden gems along the way.

That trust is something we never take for granted.

Building Something Bigger

While social media remains at the heart of what we do, these nominations also recognise the wider journey we’ve been on.

Over the past few years, we’ve expanded beyond short-form content into children’s books, podcasting and original storytelling, with a long-term vision of building a trusted family media brand.

Rather than relying on a single platform, we’ve worked to create something with lasting value; one where great stories can live across books, video, audio and future creative projects.

For Brett, the journey has also brought together more than three decades of broadcasting and media experience with a new generation of digital storytelling, helping DaysLikeThis.Life grow from a family social channel into a wider independent media brand.

Thank You

None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our community.

Whether you’ve watched a video, visited somewhere because of one of our recommendations, read one of our books, listened to the podcast or simply left an encouraging comment, you’ve played a part in this journey.

Thank you for believing in what we do.

Being shortlisted is already a huge achievement for our family, and whatever happens on awards night, we’re incredibly proud of how far DaysLikeThis.Life has come.

Here’s to the next adventure.
