DATACOMMS AWARDS 2025 WINNERS REVEALED

The DataComms Awards 2025 ceremony culminated in a glittering evening of celebration, following a day of thought-provoking conversation at DataComms Live. The ceremony, held at The May Fair Hotel in London, saw the industry’s most innovative communicators honoured for their exceptional use of data in shaping impactful strategies.

This year’s award winners were celebrated for their ability to harness the vast potential of data across corporate reputation, brand identity, social media and PR. The ceremony, which followed the insightful DataComms Live conference, was a tribute to those whose work embodies the transformative power of data-driven communications.

The DataComms Awards continues to shine a spotlight on the diverse ways in which data can enhance communications efforts, with entrants this year demonstrating an extraordinary level of creativity, insight and dedication. From immersive experiences to agile crisis management, the campaigns exhibited were as fresh as they were effective.

Among this year’s Gold Award recipients was CARMA’s Kingdom of Saudi Arabia report, which provided actionable insights for clients and enhanced their communications strategies. UK Finance, in collaboration with FleishmanHillard, also took home Gold for its ‘Take Five to Stop Fraud’ campaign, aiming to help the UK build stronger fraud prevention habits.

It was this campaign that also earned the coveted Grand Prix, impressing judges with its significant media coverage, record-high recognition of campaign messages and ingenuity.
