The Silver Marketing Awards 2026 – Finalists

 

 

We are delighted to announce the finalists for the 2026 Silver Marketing Awards.

These awards recognise and celebrate the companies that have delivered a successful marketing campaign in the last year, focusing on the older demographic and showing creativity, empathy and measurable results.

The independent panel of judges with no conflict of interest were impressed with the quality and creativity of the nominations, and had the difficult challenge to review the campaigns and make their decisions.

The awards will be presented at a sparkling drinks reception, hosted by Anthea Turner, on Thursday 9th July 2026 at the Cavendish Centre, London W1 from 16.15-17.15 following the Silver Marketing Summit.

Join us to celebrate on the day!  Buy your tickets for the Awards Ceremony
