BERLIN—Little Leaf Agency was named Best Marketing Agency and runner-up for Best PR Agency at the 2026 Sex Marketing Awards (SXMA), presented during the SX Festival & Expo Berlin in the German capital on June 26.
The awards recognize excellence across the adult and sexual wellness industries, celebrating companies and individuals driving creativity, innovation, and positive change.
Representing Little Leaf Agency at the festival were founder and CEO Kathryn Byberg and PR Manager Bryony Lees, who also participated in the event’s educational program. During the conference, Byberg joined fellow industry members Ashton Egner and Shari Klein for the panel discussion, “One Step Ahead: How Can We Market in an AI Landscape?” which explored how AI is reshaping marketing in the sexual wellness industry. The panel was moderated by intimacy educator and affiliate marketing expert Susan Bratton.
“It is an incredible honor to be recognized by our peers in an industry filled with so many talented innovators,” Byberg said. “When I founded Little Leaf, my vision was to help sexual wellness brands earn the visibility and credibility they deserve while challenging the stigma that still surrounds our industry. These awards reflect the passion and relentless dedication of our entire team. Every member of Little Leaf has played a huge part in this achievement, and I’m so grateful to our clients for trusting us to tell their stories. These wins only motivate us to keep pushing boundaries and raising the bar for sexual wellness PR.”
Throughout the three-day event, the Little Leaf team attended workshops, networking events, and educational sessions covering topics ranging from emerging marketing trends to kink education, including Reed Amber’s foot worship workshop and the festival’s Shibari demonstrations.
“Our industry thrives because of collaboration,” Byberg added. “Events like SX Festival create space for important conversations and relationship building to thrive as well as new and creative ideas. It was wonderful to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new people, and celebrate everyone’s accomplishments together.”
The recognition caps a milestone year for Little Leaf Agency, which has expanded its client roster while continuing to focus on the sexual wellness industry.
"Little Leaf Agency congratulates all of this year’s SXMA winners and nominees and extends its thanks to the SX Festival team, fellow panelists, attendees and everyone who voted in support of the agency," the company said.
