A digital marketing agency based in Naas, Co. Kildare has secured national recognition for the second year running, with Kola Digital named All-Ireland Champion Digital Agency of the Year 2026 by the All-Ireland Business Foundation (AIBF).
The achievement marks another significant milestone for the Kildare business, which has also maintained its Business All-Star accreditation for six consecutive years, recognising its performance, reputation and commitment to client service.
Founded by Managing Director Krystle Foley in 2016, Kola Digital has grown from a one-woman operation into a multi-skilled digital agency supporting businesses across Kildare and throughout Ireland.
The agency provides a range of digital services, including website design and development, branding, social media management, digital advertising, video production and marketing strategy. Its work focuses on helping businesses strengthen their online presence, connect with their audiences and achieve their commercial objectives.
Since its establishment, Kola Digital has worked with more than 200 clients and delivered over 150 website design and development projects, supporting organisations ranging from local start-ups and family-run businesses to established national brands.
Giving Back to the Kildare Community. Alongside its commercial work, Kola Digital is committed to using its digital expertise to support charitable organisations and community initiatives.
In 2026, the agency selected Relay For Life Kildare as its charity partner, committing pro bono marketing and PR support to help raise awareness and promote the annual 24-hour fundraising event, which takes place at the Curragh Racecourse in support of people affected by cancer which raised €85,921 from their 2025 Relay all in aid of the Irish Cancer Society.
The partnership builds on Kola Digital’s wider commitment to community support. Earlier this year, the agency delivered a brand-new website completely free of charge for Last Hope Animal Charity, a volunteer-led rescue organisation supporting animals across Meath through rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming. The website was designed to help the charity reach more supporters and make it easier for the public to browse animals available for adoption, explore volunteering opportunities and support its work.
Through these initiatives, Kola Digital is demonstrating how local businesses can make a meaningful contribution by sharing their skills, time and resources with organisations that rely on community support.
Funds raised through Relay For Life Kildare have helped the Irish Cancer Society provide vital services across the county, including free transport to cancer treatment, counselling and Night Nursing care for patients at the end of life.
Krystle Foley, Managing Director of Kola Digital, said: “We’re incredibly proud to retain the All-Ireland Champion Digital Agency of the Year title. To also reach six consecutive years as a Business All-Star makes it even more special.
“When I started Kola Digital in 2016, I could never have imagined how much the business would grow. We’ve worked with so many fantastic businesses over the years, and we’re proud to help them build their brands and grow through digital marketing.”
“While the agency has grown, our focus has stayed the same: doing great work, looking after our clients and building strong relationships. We also believe it’s important to use our skills to give something back. Supporting Last Hope Animal Charity and partnering with Relay For Life Kildare allows us to contribute to causes that make a real difference to people and communities.”
“This recognition belongs to our whole team, our clients and the community that has supported us along the way.”
Kieran Ring, Deputy Chair of the AIBF Adjudication Board, congratulated the agency on retaining its national title, highlighting the team’s creativity, strong client relationships and understanding of the needs of businesses.
Kapil Khanna, Co-CEO of the All-Ireland Business Foundation, also recognised Kola Digital’s consistency over six consecutive years of accreditation, noting the combination of digital expertise and a personal approach to client service.
The Business All-Star accreditation process includes an independent assessment of a company’s performance, reputation and customer experience. For Kola Digital, the latest award represents not only continued national recognition but also a milestone for a business that has grown from its Kildare roots while remaining committed to supporting local businesses, charities and the wider community.
