Judging will soon commence for this year’s Global Performance Marketing Awards.
We are no longer accepting entries, although there are still opportunities to sponsor the ceremony and position your brand in a global spotlight. You can explore options here.
For now, the power has been handed to our esteemed panel of judges, who will review and debate each and every entry, as they decide who has stood out and set the bar for performance marketing around the world this year. No small feat.
Luckily, we have an excellent board joining us for the 9th edition of these awards.
You can view the full list here.
Some of our judges offered their thoughts and advice in the lead up to this year’s ceremony:
Takahito Nakamura, Head of eBay Partner Network at eBay, mused, “There are a lot of things happening and being talked about in performance marketing: AI is going to destroy affiliate marketing; attribution stolen from influencers; data/transparency; etc.
“Yes, these things are important. But performance marketing still relies heavily on people and collaboration. Often, these things do not get highlighted as they may not be as sexy as AI. The GPMAs are an excellent opportunity to recognise and highlight the great work happening in the industry.”
When it comes to entries, Nakamura hopes to see passion and excitement, big ideas, and results.
Julius Ewig, Managing Director of Countlessdots GmbH, called the awards “the only truly relevant cross-border event in our industry.”
Excited to return this year, Ewig is on the lookout for clearly structured, sharp stories, “no fluff, no filler.”
Laura Redman, Co-Founder of The Redman Agency, said, “I’m thrilled to return as a judge for the 2025 Global Performance Marketing Awards. These awards continue to set the benchmark for excellence in our industry, spotlighting innovation, transparency, and the real impact partnerships can deliver. It’s a privilege to help recognise the standout work that’s pushing the channel forward.”
Redman calls for creativity in entries. “Lead with impact”, she said. Unique approaches and clear storytelling are what make a winning entry for her.
