The Wires 2026: All the Winners
by on 13th Nov 2026 in News

The results are in! So who walked away from The Wires 2026 with one of ad tech's most prestigious awards?
One of the most anticipated events in the industry calendar, the Wires Awards returned in style to celebrate the very best in ad tech and media.
The awards honour the people and companies whose work over the past year has pushed the industry forward and set new standards.
Our expert judges had the tough job of choosing from an exceptional field of entries. Last night, in front of a sold-out crowd at One Marylebone, we finally revealed who came out on top.
Congratulations to everyone who took home a coveted trophy or a commendation. A huge thank you also goes to our judges, the venue staff and the entertainers for making the night so special once again.
So, let's see whose trophy shelf has some added sparkle this morning...
