Hannah Russell
Hannah Russell
Hannah Russell, a 27-year-old entrepreneur best known for her bestselling books about Little Alf the miniature Shetland pony, has been awarded the Award of Excellence from E2 Media for her digital marketing ventures.

Russell, who launched her digital marketing company Business Bloom Media last year, has added this latest accolade to an already impressive resume that includes being named runner-up for Great British Young Entrepreneur and securing Author of the Year honors for three consecutive years.

The young entrepreneur's journey began at age 17 when she created a blog that grew to attract over 60,000 followers and generate one million monthly views. While building her literary career around Little Alf, who has become a global household name, Russell simultaneously developed her expertise in digital marketing, working as a freelance social media marketing manager for the past decade.

"It's lovely to receive this award," Russell said. "I've always kept my social media and digital work in the background from my writing. I found a love for marketing and working on brand visibility after building up my own social media platforms over the year and realized I had a skill in helping brands grow online."
Business Bloom Media offers a comprehensive suite of digital services, including social media management, website design, and content creation. The company also provides social media training to help businesses establish their online presence. Russell's recent recognition comes after completing her final qualifications in the field, marking a new chapter in her entrepreneurial journey.

"In the last 5 years I've been studying and recently finished my final qualifications. I'm excited to see where this next step takes me in the years to come," Russell added.

The Award of Excellence recognises Russell's exceptional contributions to the digital marketing industry and her commitment to helping brands thrive in the digital landscape.
