The Wires 2025: Another Year of Ad Tech Excellence

Last night, we celebrated ExchangeWire’s The Wires awards 2025. So who walked away with a prestigious trophy or commendation? Let’s find out…

One of the most-anticipated events of the year, the Wires Awards celebrates the very best of ad tech and the media industry.

From creativity and innovation to data and measurement, we recognised those who made significant contributions and left their mark on the industry.

Our expert judges cast their eyes over the best work of the last year, and at a sold-out ceremony at One Marylebone last night, we announced the winners. 

Congratulations to those who walked away with a coveted trophy or a commendation, and a massive thanks to the judges, venue staff, and entertainment who made the night so special once again.
