Be part of the future of Commerce Media

The Drum Awards for Commerce Media recognizes the brands, retailers and agencies from every corner of the world redefining how people buy, browse and connect. If you’re pushing what’s possible in creativity and commerce, this is your stage.

Entries are judged by the world’s leading brands, and the best case studies will be showcased on thedrum.com, putting your work in front of the people who shape the industry. This isn’t another awards show. It’s a global platform.

More reasons to enter

Winners are revealed at an exclusive honors ceremony in Miami, then celebrated across The Drum to a worldwide marketing audience. A win here is more than a trophy. It’s your work seen, shared and talked about through our editorial coverage and across our social channels.

And if you’re an agency, you’ll be recommended by The Drum and promoted to brands looking for partners who deliver. With the introduction of gold, silver, and bronze awards, your chances of taking home a trophy have never been better.

And the perks don’t stop there – winners gain exclusive interviews, features, and the opportunity to compete in the Grand Finale, the ultimate showdown of our annual competition.
