Today (August 9) sees the official unveiling of the Influencer Marketing Awards (IMAs), bringing together brands, agencies and individuals to reflect the continued strength of the influencer marketing channel.
Taking place on Park Lane, London in March 2019, the ceremony will place a spotlight on the very best influencer marketing campaigns from around the world, rewarding excellence on design, execution and development while showcasing creativity, innovation, clear KPIs and objective.
Agencies, brands and influencers within the global influencer marketing industry are qualified to enter the IMAs in addition to technologies that add value to the influencer marketing ecosystem under a newly created set of Vertical, Campaign, Agency and Industry categories.
Talking Influence is proud to be the official media partner for the IMAs.

The Agency Awards will see candidates battling it out for Best Boutique Influencer Marketing, Best Talent Agency and Best Large Influencer Marketing Agency, while the Technology Awards will shine a light on the best tools being implemented, including Best Relationship Management, Best Influencer Discovery Tool and Best Campaign Planning & Management Tool. Lastly, the IMAs peer-voted Industry Choice category makes an introduction for the best Rising Star and Industry Choice of Technology or SaaS.
“We’re incredibly excited to be managing this new awards for the ever-developing influencer marketing industry,” said Chris Henley, sales manager at the Influencer Marketing Show; “With more brands looking to invest in this area of digital marketing, it will be essential to stand out from the crowd and winning an award is one of the best ways to do that.”
