Among the highlights is the coveted Media Leader of the Year category, with an impressive line-up of finalists representing both agencies and media owners. Past winners have included some of the sector’s most respected voices, and the 2025 shortlist promises another exciting year of competition.

Supporting the celebration, Infinitum Entertainment returns as the headline sponsor, alongside category sponsors including Mail Metro Media, Radiocentre, Bauer Media, and Reach. Their continued commitment ensures that the awards remain a platform for recognising outstanding contributions across the media landscape.

In addition to Media Leader of the Year, shortlists have been unveiled for several major categories, including Rising Star, Independent Media Agency, Media Agency of the Year, and Sales Team of the Year. Each recognises the creativity, strategy, and results that have defined the past year in media.

The winners will be revealed at a glittering ceremony on 16 October 2025, held at London’s JW Marriott Grosvenor House on Park Lane. The event will bring together leaders, innovators, and rising stars for a night of celebration and inspiration.
