The Influencer Marketing Awards, now in its 4th year, is the pilot in rewarding effective, creative, and inclusive collaborations that authentically connect brands with consumers. Receiving an Influencer Marketing Award for your team or your campaign emphasises that you have been recognised as best in class by a thought-leading, expert panel of judges with knowledge throughout the industry and its progression.

Although executed successfully as a virtual ceremony in 2021, the IMA team is thrilled to be returning to London’s Sheraton Hotel to celebrate in style, allowing key players within the influencer marketing sphere to rekindle and celebrate their accolades.


“Given the phenomenal growth that this maturing industry has seen over the last 12 months, we are so excited to celebrate in person for the first time since 2019. Alongside the return to a physical awards show, we are excited to announce the introduction of fresh categories that focus on authenticity and measurement, aiming to recognise and reward these flourishing areas of progress.”— Kate McGregor, Head of Content, PerformanceIN

New and reintroduced categories for 2022

Thanks to pandemic restrictions easing, travel is well and truly back on the map, so for the 2022 awards, the team are bringing back the Best Travel Campaign category to celebrate how adaptable and versatile influencer marketers can be during times – and how they can make huge wins during testing times.

During the Influencer Marketing Show in October, we were able to envision the emerging trends and innovations that will develop within the influencer sphere as we enter 2022. When looking at the trends, the IMA team decided to introduce two brand new categories – Best Long Term Partnership and Best Use of Affiliate Marketing. These categories highlight the commitment and professionalisation that only continues to grow in the influencer marketing space.
