WHY THIS AWARD IS DIFFERENT


Dedicated In-House Award

While other awards are for external agencies, this is exclusively for the in-house community in the EMEA region. This singular focus provides a unique and vital platform to benchmark your work and team against your true peers, judged by a panel who understand the specific challenges and triumphs of the in-house model.

A Celebration of In-House Talent and Culture 

These Awards are your chance to shine a spotlight on the creativity, commitment, and impact of your in-house team. Recognise their achievements and show the industry just how powerful in-house can be when it's firing on all cylinders.

Powered by the Authority of Campaign

As the flagship awards for this sector from Campaign, a win carries unparalleled weight and credibility. It is an endorsement from the industry's most respected voice, providing powerful validation of your team's work to your C-suite and the wider industry.

WHY YOU SHOULD ENTER


Attract and Retain Top Talent

Great talent wants to be part of something great. Showcasing your team's excellence helps attract the brightest minds while reinforcing pride and purpose within your existing team.

Strengthen Your Brand Inside and Out

Winning or even being shortlisted elevates your reputation both internally and externally. It’s a clear signal to stakeholders, clients, and potential recruits that your team delivers world-class work, with results to match.

Prove and Justify Your Value

With growing expectations and tight scrutiny, now’s the time to validate your team’s strategic importance. These Awards provide tangible proof of your impact, helping to secure buy-in, budgets and long-term support.

HEAR FROM OUR EDITOR



"It's fantastic to bring the Campaign In-House Agency Awards back for a second time following its launch in 2025. After recognising a breadth of talent and work from brands' in-house teams last year, Campaign is looking forward to doing the same again in 2026 and with the addition of three new awards. We are introducing categories to celebrate design, copywriting, and work for not-for-profit brands."

Nicola Merrifield, Premium Content Editor: Campaign UK

LAST YEAR'S ATTENDEES 


The British Red Cross is proud to be partnered with Haymarket Media Group, shaping a better future to help millions prepare for, respond to, and recover from crises across the world. By supporting the British Red Cross Disaster Fund, Haymarket Media Group are providing vital funds needed to reach thousands around the world with essential aid.

DISCOVER THE CAMPAIGN IN-HOUSING SUMMIT


The journey doesn't end after the trophies are handed out at the awards ceremony. Campaign's In-Housing Summit helps you discover how this trend is reshaping marketing operations for brands worldwide. While the In-House Agency Awards provides a platform exclusively for the EMEA in-house community to showcase their culture, benchmark their work against peers and prove their strategic value to the C-Suite, the In-Housing Summit offers a dynamic conference to build on that success. It allows you to explore innovative strategies, share best practices, and connect with like-minded professionals as we dive into the value of bringing creative, media, and digital capabilities in-house.
