Welcome to the UK Paid & Performance Media Awards

Built for the people who make paid media perform.

Paid media is no longer just about reach. It’s about results. ROI. Revenue. The teams and agencies driving real business outcomes deserve more than a dashboard screenshot; they deserve a stage.

The UK Paid & Performance Media Awards exist to recognise the strategic thinking, creative execution, and data-driven decisions that turn ad spend into profit. Whether you’re running search, social, programmatic, Amazon, or a fully integrated paid strategy, if your work performs, we want to hear about it.

What to expect from entering…

  • Gain PR exposure and downloadable award assets.
  • Receive expert feedback from respected industry judges.
  • Showcase your work through unlimited blog features on the awards website.
  • Raise your profile with clients, prospects, and partners.
  • Celebrate success with the team behind the work.
  • Earn trusted third-party recognition from industry experts.
  • Attract top talent and strengthen client relationships.

The UK Paid & Performance Media Awards are part of the Paid Media Awards series, including the European Paid Media Awards.

It truly validates our hard work, energy, and enthusiasm for what we do. We’ve had some really tough setbacks in the last couple of years, but instead of holding us back, we’ve pivoted and moved forward on our strongest foot. Julia Symonds, Co-Founder

After taking home gold last year for Best Integrated Paid Media Campaign, we decided to throw our hat in the ring again this year. We also saw success at the UK Search Awards, whereby we took home Best Low Budget PPC Campaign and Best Integrated Campaign. Following a very busy year with huge client wins and impressive performance results produced quality material to work with for our entries. As a boutique agency, we pride ourselves on our dedication and diligence to each client relationship and the clients from our nominated campaigns – The Online Lighting Store and Supersoil were ecstatic to hear of the recognition of the joint efforts.

The entry process was clear and well-structured, making it easy to showcase the work behind the campaign and the results achieved. The Don’t Panic team have been great to work with, and it’s fantastic to be recognised alongside so many strong campaigns across the industry. Melanie Comerford
