Nominations for the 9th edition of the Digital Marketing Award (DMA) are now open, with submissions beginning on March 30, 2026, and closing on April 30, 2026. An initiative of Bangladesh Brand Forum, DMA stands as the country’s flagship digital recognition platform, honoring ideas, campaigns, and strategies that demonstrate strategic clarity, creative intelligence, and measurable impact in an increasingly connected Bangladesh.
The 9th edition features 25 award categories, reflecting the breadth and depth of contemporary digital marketing. A new category, Best Revamp Campaign, has been introduced this year to recognize campaigns that have successfully revamped and redefined existing strategies, platforms, or products to better align with changing market dynamics, consumer expectations, and emerging technologies. Campaigns submitted must have been active on digital platforms between November 1, 2024, to March 25, 2026, ensuring relevance to the current landscape. Awards will be presented across four tiers of recognition: Grand Prix, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. DMA is also widely recognized for its rigorous and extensive jury process, conducted over full-day sessions that include both shortlist and grand jury evaluations, ensuring a thorough and credible assessment of a large volume of creative submissions.
Since its inception in 2017, DMA has evolved in parallel with the digital ecosystem. What began as a celebration of innovation has grown into a definitive benchmark that captures how brands adapt, lead, and build relevance in a fast-changing marketplace. The platform reflects BBF’s continued commitment to advancing digital transformation, fostering industry learning, and raising the standards of marketing effectiveness.
The 9th edition places strong emphasis on the most defining shifts shaping digital marketing today. From AI-powered creativity and automation to data intelligence, experience design, and performance-led storytelling, the awards recognize work that seamlessly blends technology with human insight. As brands navigate stricter data regulations, the decline of third-party cookies, and rising consumer expectations, strategies rooted in first-party data, trust, and transparency take center stage. Purpose-driven communication, community-led growth, and measurable business outcomes remain key lenses for evaluation.
