2026 Silver Marketing Awards

Entries now closed – see who the finalists are

 

Now in their fourth year, the Silver Marketing Awards are awarded to brands and agencies that have delivered a successful marketing campaign since January 2025, focusing on the older demographic and showing creativity, empathy and measurable results.

There is also an Exceptional Achievement Award for an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the silver sector.

The entries are now closed and the trophies will be presented by our Patron, Anthea Turner at a sparkling drinks reception on Thursday 9th July 2026 at the Cavendish Centre, London W1 following the Silver Marketing Summit.

Live music for the event will be courtesy of voice & keyboard duo David Will Mitchell and Cole Toury who will be performing a host of popular medleys to accompany the winners as they collect their trophies.

Twelve awards are judged by a panel of experts, each a specialist in their field and with many years of experience.  In the interests of impartiality, judges are not allocated any category with a potential conflict of interest.

The Awards are open to both members and non-members of the Silver Marketing Association.
