The victors reflect outstanding work across a number of product sectors, alongside awards for the best people, agencies, innovations and teams.
A record number of shortlisted finalists across 28 categories (plus the Grand Prix award) were selected by a judging panel made up of industry leaders and experts.
This year’s Grand Prix was awarded to Performics @ Starcom for its outstanding work with Vauxhall, for its innovative EV calculator to help drive engagement around the value of owning an electric vehicle.
Judges praised the work as a “classic auto campaign that's data driven, focussed on engagement and results”.
One judge said: “The inclusion of the calculator significantly captured consumer attention, providing a valuable tool to help consumers make their own decisions based on the outcome.”
Other winning entries included work from Specsavers, Primark, ITV, ASICS, KFC, Lloyds Pharmacy, Peugeot and Google.
The FT Performance Marketing team scooped the in-house agency of the year, earning praise from the judges for being “empowered to really own this division and treat it like their company”.
“I'd be very proud if I had an in-house team of this calibre,” one judge added.
Kinesso took home the prestigious title of Performance Marketing Agency of the Year, earning praise for its admirable CSR initiatives and innovative ‘Flow’ model that helped bond the agency and break down silos in a game-changing year.
International agency of the year prize went to Croud, singled out by one judge for the organisation's “unique business model, combining in-house experts with a global network of specialists”.
Marketer of the year was awarded to Ishita Khare, SEO Account Director at Performics @ Starcom, whose work this year was described by PMW’s judging panel as “nothing short of exceptional. A true force of positive change, she's shaping the agency's future and promoting diversity in leadership”.
The awards were announced at a glamorous ceremony at the JW Marriott Hotel Grosvenor in London and were supported by our partners Example and Vitality.
