EAK Digital review: a verified award, no agency price, and a London company that stopped trading in 2025

EAK Digital review, 6/10: the Entrepreneur Middle East award checks out and the events are real, but there is no agency price, no terms, no third-party review, and the UK company named in EAK Wire's terms ceased trading in July 2025.

EAK Digital review: a verified award, no agency price, and a London company that stopped trading in 2025

EAK Digital is the rare crypto agency whose award we could confirm on the awarding body’s own page, whose events a government-owned free zone has put its name to, and whose testimonials come from named executives at companies that also appear in its case studies. It is also an agency that publishes no price for its own services on its own site, no terms of any kind, and no review on Clutch, GoodFirms or Trustpilot; that says “Headquartered in Dubai” on one page, “offices in London, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Istanbul” on another and “London, England” on X; and whose British company, the one still named in the small print of its press-release shop, told Companies House in June 2026 that it “ceased trading on 31 July 2025”. Our score is 6/10.

We read all 63 pages of eakdigital.com outside the blog on 11 October 2026 (the service pages, the four case studies, the about, careers, contact, events, EAK TV and EAK Ventures pages, the privacy link that does not lead to a policy), plus ten blog posts, the agency’s own press-release shop at eakwire.com with its price list and terms, archived copies of the homepage from every January since 2017, seven years of accounts filed at Companies House, and the agency’s profiles on Clutch, GoodFirms, LinkedIn and X. Every figure below comes from one of those pages, and we say which.

Key points

  • The award is real. Entrepreneur Middle East’s own recap of its Leadership Awards 2025, held at the W Hotel The Palm on 11 December 2025, lists “Web3 Marketing and PR Agency of the Year — EAK Digital”. Three months later the same magazine ran a staff-bylined profile of the founder, and EAK’s Gate case study counts Entrepreneur Middle East among the outlets it placed that client in.
  • No price for the agency, a full price list for its wire. Not one of the 63 site pages carries a rate; the only figure EAK gives for itself is “$10,000–$50,000+/month (custom based on scope)” in its own entry in a blog post ranking agencies. EAK Wire, which “is part of” EAK Digital, sells press-release packages at $1,395, $2,795, $6,495, $12,895 and $14,995, plus Turkish, Chinese, Korean and French packs from $2,995 to $5,095 (prices as read on 11 October 2026; the site has returned a server error on every visit since 24 October).
  • The British company stopped trading. EAK Digital Ltd, incorporated in London on 22 November 2016 with Erhan Andrew Korhaliller as sole director and owner, filed accounts in June 2026 stating “The company ceased trading on 31 July 2025”, with net liabilities of £12,291 against net assets of £274,263 two years earlier. The site’s footer now names “E.A.K Global group FZE” in the Umm Al Quwain free trade zone; the wire’s terms still say “EAK Digital LTD” and the laws of the United Kingdom.
  • The outside record is empty. Clutch: “Not yet reviewed”, employees “2 – 9”. GoodFirms: “No reviews submitted yet.” Trustpilot: no profile. LinkedIn lists 21 employees and says the headquarters is London; EAK’s own April 2026 blog entry says “51–100 employees”; the UK accounts averaged seven staff in 2024 and four in the period to April 2026.
  • The events are the strongest verifiable asset. Istanbul Blockchain Week ran its fourth edition in June 2025 and its fifth on 2–3 June 2026 with tickets at $399, $699 and $1,999; on 29 June 2026 DMCC, Dubai’s commodities free zone, announced a partnership with “EAK Digital, the organiser of Istanbul Blockchain Week and BlockDown event series” to stage BlockDown Dubai at Uptown Dubai on 26–27 January 2027.

Who is behind EAK Digital

The founder is not hidden, which already sets EAK apart from the last agency we reviewed. The about page names Erhan as “CEO/Founder” and says he “launched EAK Digital, a web3 native PR and Marketing Agency, in 2017, after a successful career background working with major brands such as Nike, Rolls Royce, Mini, and Barclaycard at AKQA, a leading WPP Creative Agency”. Companies House fills in the rest: EAK Digital Ltd, company 10491240, was incorporated on 22 November 2016 at 86–90 Paul Street in Shoreditch, with Erhan Andrew Korhaliller, born April 1991, British, as its only director from day one and, since a 2023 filing, its registered person with significant control holding “75% or more” of the shares. He has no other UK appointment. The domain was registered on 31 May 2016.

So which year is it, 2016 or 2017? Both, depending on the page. The about page says 2017, Clutch says 2017, the X bio says “Trusted by 250+ clients since 2017”. The agency’s December 2025 press release says “Founded in 2016” and claims a “nine-year track record”; GoodFirms says 2016; the EAK Ventures page says “over 300 clients since 2016”; and an X post of 9 October 2026 celebrates “10 years of EAK”. The archived homepages explain the overlap. In January 2017 EAK Digital was “a London-based digital marketing agency” selling “PR & Media strategy, Linkbuilding, Reputation Management”; in January 2018 it promised to help you “Always appear on page 1 of Google, ahead of your competitors. Our in-house team provides high quality links at scale.” The blockchain pivot shows up in the January 2019 copy (“customized ICO advisory services, social community management and blockchain-specific PR strategies”, next to a blog post titled “Is the ICO dead?”), and by April 2020 the homepage was promoting BlockDown 2020 (“BlockDown is the new lockdown”) and the first Istanbul Blockchain Week. The company is ten years old; the crypto agency is about seven, which is what the about page’s “Over his 7 years in web3” says.

Where it is based is harder to pin down than who runs it. From 2021 to January 2026 the homepage read “Headquartered in the United Kingdom, with operations in London, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Seoul, Buenos Aires and Istanbul”. On 11 October 2026 it reads “Headquartered in Dubai and a global team of industry experts spanning 5 continents”, and the footer lists two addresses: a Kolektif House coworking floor in Şişli, Istanbul, and “E.A.K Global group FZE, Al Shmookh Business Center, One UAQ, UAQ Free Trade Zone, Umm Al Quwain”. The free-zone company first appeared in the footer between January 2025 and January 2026, for a year alongside the UK-headquartered wording. The PR service page still says “With offices in London, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Istanbul, and other locations”; EAK’s own April 2026 blog entry gives “Headquarters London, UK”; its March 2026 comparison piece on eakwire.com gives “Headquarters: London, UK, Global Offices: 6 (London, Dubai, Singapore, Istanbul, Hong Kong, Lisbon)”; LinkedIn and X both say London. Umm Al Quwain’s free zone publishes no searchable register, so the FZE’s registration date, licence and ownership cannot be checked the way the UK company can. The careers page describes the team as “Remote” and quotes junior staff in Argentina, the UK, France, Turkey, Germany and the Netherlands.

Five people are named on the about page: Claudia in payroll and finance, who “has managed financial processes and bookkeeping for over five years, streamlining both fiat and crypto finances”; Carelin, an associate project manager “part of the EAK Digital team since 2019, working with projects such as Theta, Travala, Elixxir and Binance”; Sujith Godavarthi, social media manager; Mariia Kramar, executive operations lead; and Erhan. That is a real team page with real biographies, and it is the baseline against which the size claims in the next sections should be read.

What EAK Digital sells

Ten service lines are listed on the homepage: global public relations, influencer and KOL campaigns, go-to-market strategy, content creation, social media management, social media growth strategy, performance marketing, 24/7 Discord and Telegram community management, event management and SEO. The PR page is the one with claims worth testing. It says EAK has “the world’s largest network of crypto influencers and key opinion leaders”, that it places clients in “top-tier publications—we’re talking The Wall Street Journal, Coindesk, TechCrunch, and many more heavyweights”, and it offers “a zero-obligation free proposal” after a discovery call; the one KOL-only agency in this series, Solus Agency, backs the same kind of claim with named client reviews. The Wall Street Journal and TechCrunch appear nowhere in the four case studies; the outlets the case studies do name are Forbes, CNBC, CNN, MSN, AP News, Nasdaq, Yahoo Finance, Business Insider, CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, Decrypt, The Block and “Binance.com”.

Three things sit beside the agency. EAK Wire, on its own domain registered in December 2023 and first archived in April 2024, is a press-release distribution shop that states on its homepage: “EAK Wire is part of the leading web3 PR, marketing, and business development agency EAK Digital.” Its newsroom’s most recent items are dated 12 September 2025. EAK Ventures, a page on the main site, says “We advise, invest, and build with the best protocols in Web3” and “We are a sector agnostic fund and invest in all industry types, be it B2C, B2B, tech or offline businesses”; the founder’s card claims “Invested in 30+ Web3 projects”, while the portfolio grid below shows Bitstamp, Bitso, 1inch and 0x, each tagged “ART” and “LATAM” with a one-line description of what the company does and no mention of any EAK investment, amount or date. EAK TV hosts panel recordings from the agency’s own conferences.

And then the events, which are the part of EAK that is easiest to verify because other people keep writing about them. Istanbul Blockchain Week has run since 2020 at the Hilton Bomonti; a Chainwire release carried by Decrypt on 10 July 2025 says EAK “successfully hosted the fourth and biggest edition”, the 2026 edition was held on 2–3 June, and the agency now lists IBW 2027 as “TBC”. BlockDown started as a 3D online conference in April 2020, went to Croatia and Portugal, and is now, per DMCC’s own release of 29 June 2026, coming to Dubai: “DMCC … has partnered with Web3 marketing agency EAK Digital, the organiser of Istanbul Blockchain Week and BlockDown event series, to launch BlockDown in Dubai for the first time”, at Uptown Dubai on 26–27 January 2027, after “seven editions in destinations including Portugal and Croatia”. The pinned post on EAK’s X account sums up the pitch: “Five years, 20,000+ IRL attendees. McLaren F1, PSG, Blvck Paris, Binance, Solana, OKX and more have participated.” Sponsorship of those events is sold by the same agency that sells PR to the sponsors, which is a business model, not a problem; it just means a chunk of EAK’s client list is event sponsors rather than retainer clients, and the site does not separate the two.

Pricing in 2026

There is no price for agency work anywhere on eakdigital.com’s pages. The retainer guide on the blog, last updated in August 2026, tells buyers that a contract “should state the monthly fee, currency, taxes, payment timing, minimum term and notice period” and never states one. The KOL budget guide and the RFP guide are the same: process, no numbers. The one figure the agency attaches to itself is in a blog post from April 2026 that ranks seventeen agencies with EAK in first place; its own row reads “Pricing $10,000–$50,000+/month (custom based on scope)”, next to “Team Size 51–100 employees” and “Founded 2016”. We treat that band as EAK’s own statement of its retainer range, and nothing else on either domain contradicts or confirms it. The “$15,000–$75,000 a month” that circulates for EAK on other sites appears on none of its pages.

EAK Wire is a different story: every package has a price, a placement count and a named outlet list (as read on 11 October 2026; since 24 October the site has returned a server error on every visit, most recently on 3 November). In crypto-wire terms it is a direct competitor to the desk we reviewed in our Chainwire review, and EAK Wire says so itself on a comparison page that puts its $1,395 entry package beside Chainwire at $1,399, BTCWire at $1,500 and Coinscribble at $1,399.

Three things to read into that table. First, “Binance” and “CoinMarketCap” appear as publications in every package, down to the $1,395 one; the page does not say what a placement on either consists of, and the mainstream names at the entry tier are Business Insider, Digital Journal and Streetinsider, which is the same syndication tier the other wires sell. Second, every package includes “Get a retweet by top Web3 KOLs with 200k+ followers”, which ties the wire to the agency’s influencer roster. Third, when EAK had news of its own to distribute, it did not use EAK Wire: the award announcement of 23 December 2025 went out on GlobeNewswire, and the Istanbul Blockchain Week 2025 wrap-up went out on Chainwire. The wire’s “Loyalty Program”, which the terms say awards points redeemable “for EAK Digital consulting services and event sponsorship packages”, is marked “Coming Soon” in the menu and opens a page that says “The page can’t be found.”

The other published prices are for the conferences. Istanbul Blockchain Week 2026 sold general tickets at $399, a tier with a networking app and speaker Q&A at $699, and a $1,999 VIP tier with a “Private 30 min Q & A/ Meet & Greet with keynote speakers”. BlockDown Dubai lists early-bird general, business and VIP tickets and a sponsorship form, with a “Ticket and Refund Policy” of its own in the footer.

Clients and case studies, checked

The homepage logo strip holds 35 logos with no alt text, so we looked at the image files themselves: Alchemy Pay, Avalanche, Binance, BNB Chain, Chainlink, CoinW, crypto.com, Deepcoin, OKX, dYdX Foundation, Elixxir, Exverse, Farcana, Fireblocks, Gate.io, Gear, GK8, gno.land, GoArt Metaverse, HAQQ, Hover, Ignite, Imaginary Ones, Internet Computer, Minterest, NYM, ParibuHub, Socios.com, Sui, Theta, Toobit, Ultra, and three that are not clients in the usual sense: BlockDown and W3E are EAK’s own event brands, and Crypto Banter is a media channel whose David Airey supplies a testimonial about “our event in Dubai this year”. In the text, the about page names “Binance, Crypto.com, Sui amongst others”, the Entrepreneur Middle East profile names “Binance, Crypto.com, OKX, Sui and Gate”, and Carelin’s biography names “Theta, Travala, Elixxir and Binance”. None of those companies says anything about EAK on its own site, which is normal for agency work and means the logos stay claims.

The four case studies are uneven. Gate is the fullest and the most honest: “50+ media placements”, “46 media placements in a single month”, a live CNBC interview with “Dr. Han, Founder & CEO of Gate”, coverage “in Tier-1 outlets including Forbes, Entrepreneur Middle East, CoinDesk, Decrypt, and The Block”, and a headline “377M+ monthly reach” that the page itself footnotes: “Monthly reach is based on media outlet traffic from Similarweb. Estimated actual readers/viewers per placement are likely 5–10% of this figure.” We have not seen another agency in this series discount its own reach number on the page. Wanchain is dated (“Since partnering with EAK Digital in February 2024”) and quantified (“130+ organic media placements generating 4.7M+ views”, “14 media placements achieved in a single month”), though its “Tier-1 outlets” list includes “Binance.com”. Theta claims “100+ tier-1 media placements” and “550,000+ combined subscribers reached” with no dates; the Theta work shows up on the April 2020 homepage, so it is at least six years old. Neo, the fourth, has a client goal paragraph and then empty Solution and Results sections, with a “MEDIA PLACEMENTS” header and no number.

Eight testimonials carry names and titles, and two of them cross-check against the case studies: Temujin Louie, CEO of Wanchain (“especially adept at securing valuable op-eds”), and the Gate relationship, which on 9 October 2026 produced an award in the other direction. EAK’s X account announced that day: “EAK Digital has been recognised as Agency of the Year at the Gate Gala Awards. Gate has seen our work from the inside.” The other named voices are Alex Govros of Storm Trade (“the strongest KOL network in Web3, full stop”), an “Elena” at Pionex, Clement Chia of Imaginary Ones, Kyn Chaturvedi of Minterest, Sayuj Kumar of Plena Finance and a “Basenji, Founder”. Older homepages add TomoChain, Conflux, Akoin, Fleta and TrustSwap from 2020 to 2021. The client counters, meanwhile, are three different numbers in three places: “250+ clients” on X, “over 300 clients since 2016” on the EAK Ventures page, and “more than 500 Web3 companies” in the March 2026 magazine profile.

Third-party reviews, and what they actually mean

There are none. Clutch shows “Not yet reviewed”, “Min project size Undisclosed”, “Hourly rate Undisclosed”, “Employees 2 – 9”, “Founded 2017”, and a self-written blurb calling EAK “a Dubai-based crypto PR agency, crypto KOL agency and crypto event agency”. GoodFirms shows “No reviews submitted yet”, an hourly rate of “< $25”, “10 – 49 Employees” and “Founded 2016”. Trustpilot has no page for eakdigital.com at all. We found no thread about the agency on Reddit or Bitcointalk and no complaint anywhere, which for a nine-year-old firm cuts both ways: no praise, no grievance. LinkedIn shows 2,136 followers and 21 listed employees under a page that calls EAK “Dubai-based” in its description and “London” in its headquarters field. X shows 2,919 followers and 3,319 posts on an account opened in July 2016. What those profiles mean is simple: nobody who has paid EAK has written about it anywhere a buyer can read, so the evidence is the agency’s own pages, the magazine, the free zone and the filings.

The award deserves its own paragraph because, unlike most awards in this series, it checks out. Entrepreneur Middle East’s recap of its Leadership Awards 2025, “staged by Entrepreneur Middle East in partnership with in5” at the W Hotel The Palm on 11 December 2025, lists “WEB3 MARKETING AND PR AGENCY OF THE YEAR — EAK DIGITAL”. EAK’s own release says the award “serves as a testament to EAK Digital’s nine-year track record of delivering Tier 1 PR services with earned media coverage in outlets such as CNBC, Forbes, CNN, CoinDesk, and Decrypt”. Two facts sit next to it. The magazine ran a staff-bylined profile of the founder on 10 March 2026 (“Shaping Web3 Brands: The Entrepreneur Behind One of Crypto’s Most Influential Marketing Agencies”, the source of the “more than 500 Web3 companies” figure). And EAK’s Gate case study lists Entrepreneur Middle East among the Tier-1 outlets it secured for Gate. An agency that places clients in a magazine, wins that magazine’s award and is then profiled by it is doing exactly what a PR agency is for; a buyer should simply know the award and the coverage come from the same publisher.

The terms: none on the agency site, no refunds on the wire

eakdigital.com publishes no terms of service, no service agreement and no privacy policy. There is no terms page anywhere on the site, and the one privacy link we found opens the services page under the heading “Leading Web3 PR Agency”. What a retainer client signs, under which law, with what notice period and what refund rights, is not public. That is the norm among the premium names in this series, and it is still a gap the agency’s own retainer guide tells buyers to close.

EAK Wire does publish terms, and they are the only EAK terms anyone can read. “All payments must be completed at the time of submission. Please note that once a press release has been distributed, no refunds will be provided.” Liability is capped: “Our aggregate liability to you shall not exceed the fees paid by you for a specific service.” Governing law: “This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom.” The credit-card policy repeats the no-refund line and adds that the policy can change “at any time without prior notice” with changes “effective immediately upon posting”. Every page of eakwire.com ends with “Copyright 2024, All rights reserved by EAK Digital LTD”. That last line is why the next section exists.

A company that stopped trading, and a wire still signed in its name

EAK Digital Ltd files micro-entity accounts, so there is no profit and loss account to read, but the balance sheets tell a clear story. Net assets grew from £75,539 at the end of 2018 to £104,341 (2019), £199,056 (2020) and £328,732 (2021), then settled at £269,497 (2022) and £274,263 (2023), with an average headcount rising from two to six. The accounts for the year to 30 November 2024, filed on 26 November 2025, show current assets falling from £462,894 to £34,006 and net assets turning into net liabilities of £83,607, with seven staff on average. In May 2026 the company extended its accounting period to 30 April 2026, and on 10 June 2026 it filed accounts for that seventeen-month period showing net liabilities of £12,291, four staff on average, and one sentence under “Additional Disclosures”: “The company ceased trading on 31 July 2025.” The company is still listed as “Active”; its confirmation statement of 31 January 2026 was filed “with no updates”.

30 Apr 2026 (17 months)(£12,291)nil410 Jun 2026, “ceased trading on 31 July 2025”

Read together with the website, the sequence is consistent: the business moved from a London limited company to a free-zone establishment in Umm Al Quwain around the middle of 2025, the FZE appeared in the footer during 2025, and the “Headquartered in the United Kingdom” sentence was replaced with “Headquartered in Dubai” during 2026. None of that is irregular. What is untidy is everything that still points at the old company: the EAK Wire terms a buyer accepts today name “EAK Digital LTD” and United Kingdom law for a service sold by an entity that, on its own filing, has not traded since July 2025; LinkedIn’s primary location is still the Paul Street address; the X bio still says “London, England”; the PR page still lists a London office; and EAK’s own blog entry from April 2026 still gives “Headquarters London, UK”. A client paying a five-figure retainer should ask which company is on the invoice, in which jurisdiction, before the first payment, because the public pages give three answers.

One more thing the filings settle is size. The UK company never averaged more than seven employees in any year. The agency’s own April 2026 roundup entry says “51–100 employees”; LinkedIn says “11-50” with 21 listed; GoodFirms says “10 – 49”; Clutch says “2 – 9”. Some of the difference is contractors and the Istanbul and event teams, which would never show in a London payroll. The rest is the usual stretch. Six years of filings also show that the agency was comfortably profitable through the 2021 cycle and loss-making in 2024, which is more than any of its competitors in this series let us see.

EAK Digital against the desks and networks we already track

On price transparency EAK lands in the middle of our Web3 marketing agencies ranking: a self-declared “$10,000–$50,000+/month” band is more than MarketAcross or Outset PR publish, less than Flexe.io, which prints a $4,000 floor on most pages, and less precise than Lunar Strategy’s $15,000 contact-form floor. On the third-party record it sits at the bottom with Flexe: zero reviews anywhere, against NinjaPromo’s long Clutch history and Coinbound’s. On verifiable substance it sits near the top: a government free zone has signed a release naming it as organiser of two event brands, a business magazine has listed it as a winner on its own site, named executives vouch for it, and seven years of accounts are public. That mix is why it scores level with NinjaPromo, Outset and Lunar rather than with Flexe. The same agency-plus-wire shape, with the same blank on price and reviews, earns the same 6/10 in our Melrose PR review.

EAK Wire belongs in a different comparison, the one in our crypto PR distribution guide. At $1,395 for ten “guaranteed publications” it is priced within $4 of Chainwire’s Lite package ($1,399, eight guaranteed outlets) and above Mintfunnel’s $99 and $299 entry tiers, with a top package at $14,995 that costs more than Chainwire’s $10,799 Gold. The outlet lists overlap heavily, Business Insider and CoinMarketCap at the bottom, Cointelegraph and The Block at the top, which is what you would expect from wires buying the same syndication slots. The practical difference is that EAK Wire bundles a KOL retweet into every tier and that its parent sells the follow-on retainer; Chainwire and Mintfunnel do not. If you only need distribution, compare the per-placement cost and the named outlets at the tier you can afford, and remember that none of the three refunds a release once it is out. If you want the agency behind the wire, the retainer band above is the starting point for the conversation, and the wire’s terms are the only written terms you will see until you ask for a contract.

For an advertiser who has read our network reviews, EAK is not a substitute for Coinzilla or Cointraffic display inventory; it does not resell ad placements and its performance-marketing page describes campaign management, not a network. Where it overlaps with networks is press-release distribution, which Cointraffic also sells, and conference sponsorship, which it sells to the same brands that buy display.

Verdict

Our score is 6/10. EAK Digital earns points other agencies in this series could not: a founder on the record for a decade, a team page with biographies, an award verified at the awarding body, two event brands that a Dubai government entity and a mainstream crypto outlet have independently described as EAK’s, testimonials from named executives, a case study that discounts its own reach figure, a wire with a full public price list, and seven years of accounts anyone can read. It loses points for the things a buyer has to take on faith: no agency price on its own pages beyond a band in its own blog, no terms of any kind on the agency site, not one third-party review on any platform, client counters of 250, 300 and 500 across three pages, headcounts from “2 – 9” to “51–100” depending on the directory, a headquarters that is Dubai, London or both depending on the page, and a press-release shop whose terms still bind a company that stopped trading in July 2025. The events and the filings make EAK one of the more checkable agencies we have looked at; the website makes it one of the less consistent. Ask for the contracting entity, the law and the notice period in writing, treat the $10,000-a-month band as a floor, and if you only need a wire, price EAK Wire against Chainwire tier by tier before you decide.

FAQ

How much does EAK Digital charge?

No page on eakdigital.com states a rate for agency services. The only figure the agency gives for itself is “$10,000–$50,000+/month (custom based on scope)”, in its own entry in an April 2026 blog post. Its press-release arm, EAK Wire, published fixed packages from $1,395 (ten placements) to $14,995 (nineteen placements), and language packs from $2,995 to $5,095, when we read its pricing page on 11 October 2026; the site has returned a server error on every visit since 24 October. Istanbul Blockchain Week tickets cost $399, $699 and $1,999 in 2026.

Is EAK Digital a legitimate company?

It is a real, long-running business with a named founder. EAK Digital Ltd was incorporated in London in November 2016 and filed accounts every year; its latest accounts state it “ceased trading on 31 July 2025”, and the website now names “E.A.K Global group FZE” in the Umm Al Quwain free trade zone as the company, with an Istanbul coworking address as a second office. We found no complaint about the agency anywhere, and no review either.

Did EAK Digital really win Entrepreneur Middle East’s award?

Yes. The magazine’s own recap of the Entrepreneur Leadership Awards 2025, held on 11 December 2025 at the W Hotel The Palm in Dubai, lists “Web3 Marketing and PR Agency of the Year — EAK Digital”. The same magazine published a staff-written profile of the founder in March 2026, and EAK’s Gate case study lists Entrepreneur Middle East among the outlets it placed that client in.

Does EAK Digital organise Istanbul Blockchain Week and BlockDown?

Yes, and this is the best-documented part of the agency. DMCC’s release of 29 June 2026 calls EAK Digital “the organiser of Istanbul Blockchain Week and BlockDown event series” and announces BlockDown Dubai at Uptown Dubai on 26–27 January 2027. A Chainwire release carried by Decrypt in July 2025 describes the fourth Istanbul Blockchain Week; the fifth ran on 2–3 June 2026. Two of the 35 logos in the homepage’s “Trusted By” strip, BlockDown and W3E, are EAK’s own event brands.

Does EAK Digital offer refunds?

The agency site publishes no terms at all, so retainer refund rights are whatever your contract says. EAK Wire’s terms and credit-card policy state that payment is due in full at submission and that “once a press release has been distributed, no refunds will be provided”, with liability capped at the fees paid and United Kingdom law governing. The contracting name on those terms is “EAK Digital LTD”.

How big is EAK Digital?

It depends where you look. Clutch says “2 – 9” employees, GoodFirms “10 – 49”, LinkedIn “11-50” with 21 people listed, and EAK’s own April 2026 blog entry “51–100”. The UK company’s accounts show an average of seven staff in the year to November 2024 and four in the period to April 2026. Five people are named on the about page. Event and contractor teams in Istanbul and elsewhere would not appear in a London payroll, so the true number sits somewhere between the filings and LinkedIn.
