More Than a Ceremony
Each year, GIMA brings together the agencies, brands, creators and platforms shaping culture and delivering measurable growth.
From shortlist recognition to final winner announcements, this is where the industry comes together to celebrate the work that defined the year.
More than a ceremony, it’s an annual defining moment for the creator marketing community.
The Shortlist Brunch
New for 2026 our Shortlist Brunch brings together finalists, judges and partners in a curated setting designed for meaningful connection.
This is where shortlisted work is acknowledged publicly for the first time – and where conversations start that often extend far beyond the awards.
Each shortlisted company receives two invites the exclusive brunch.

The Gala Dinner & Awards Presentation
An evening that reflects the standard of the work it celebrates.
Hosted at The Londoner, London, GIMA combines a formal gala dinner with the live awards presentation – bringing the creator marketing community under one roof.
Guests gather to recognise the campaigns, partnerships and people shaping the industry.
This truly is a shared moment – one that recognises not only achievement, but contribution to our incredible industry.

Recognition Beyond the Night
Winning does not end with the trophy.
GIMA winners benefit from structured amplification across:
• Official winner announcements on GIMA, CreatorFest Collective & Hello Partner
• Social and press coverage
• Dedicated website profiles and archive visibility
• Post-event content features
• Industry-wide exposure
Recognition strengthens positioning, validates performance and signals leadership to clients, partners and talent alike.
The Right People in the Room
Conversations move easily between commercial performance and cultural impact, often over a glass of Moët, and the real value lies in who’s in the room – the people setting the pace, asking the hard questions and shaping what comes next.
After the Stage
The evening continues with an exclusive official post-ceremony party.
A more relaxed setting to celebrate, reconnect and extend conversations started earlier in the night.
Because the most meaningful industry relationships are not always formed during the formal programme – but in the moments that follow.
