STAY TUNED FOR THE SHORTLIST

The best audio advertising isn’t accidental. It is written, voiced, produced and planned with precision. It understands context. It earns attention. When done well, it doesn’t just deliver a message, it builds memory, meaning and long-term brand value.

The Campaign Audio Advertising Awards exist to recognise those who truly understand this power. They are the industry’s benchmark for excellence in audio, celebrating work that pushes creative boundaries, proves effectiveness and elevates the medium.

They provide a dedicated space to recognise the craft, creativity, and strategy behind audio advertising, celebrating every facet of a campaign‚ from smart planning and powerful storytelling to cutting-edge use of data and technology."
