About the Awards
Rewarding Creativity, Innovation and Excellence for 15 Years
With our first UK edition back in 2007 which was run in a pub with fish and chips and a Ricky Gervais lookalike the Performance Marketing Awards has grown into a high-level black tie dinner, ceremony and networking event with previous hosts including Michael McIntyre, Romesh Ranganathan and Katherine Ryan.
Now with five incredible years under our belts, the Global edition of the Performance Marketing Awards celebrates the industry’s most exceptional projects on a global scale.
We will once again be recognising the work from across America, MENA, APAC, LATAM, to Western and Eastern Europe. Awarding the best work from across the past 12 months, the ceremony offers incredible networking opportunities for senior representatives from the ecosystem’s leading advertisers, publishers, agencies, networks and technology providers. With an incredible atmosphere and world-class entertainment, get ready for an evening of champagne, fine dining and if you fancy a shimmy on the dancefloor.
“For this to be covered on a global scale is an indication of just how strong and how far the industry has come.”

Member of the Supervisory Board at Awin Global
INTERNATIONAL PM AWARDS 2020
2020 needs no introduction. But despite not being able to hold a physical event we still celebrated the industry’s excellence with a virtual ceremony, encouraging those at home from across the globe to get in on the action; dressing up in their finest and raising a glass to celebrate the advancement the performance marketing industry made in a very challenging year.
Featuring a total of 27 categories, and filled with world-class work, 2020 showed, more than ever, the collaboration between the industry. With Covid-19 not only affecting the events industry but that of retail too, the 2020 awards showcased the acceleration of digital and eCommerce transformation strategies, and the industry’s ability to develop technology and add value to partners, influencing and converting consumers at critical points within the shopping journey.
