The Global Influencer Marketing Awards 2024: Riding the Wave of Creator Evolution

With new categories, where innovation meets recognition in the ever-evolving influencer marketing landscape, the GIMA Entry Kit is now available to download.

Evolve and prosper

One of the pivotal shifts in the industry that the GIMAs are acknowledging is the transformation of creators into recognised brands. To honour these innovators, the 2023 award ceremony proudly presented the 'Content Creator of the Year' award which will return in 2024. This acknowledges the outstanding contributions of creators who have transcended their roles and become influential brands in their own right.

As part of our commitment to staying ahead of industry trends, the 2024 GIMAs are introducing three new categories to reflect where the industry is now, but also where it’s heading:

'Best Micro-Influencer Campaign' - Recognising the increased power and impact of micro-influencers in the digital landscape.

'Best Use of UGC' - Celebrating campaigns that harness the impressive and innovative potential of user-generated content.

'Talent Agency of the Year' - Acknowledging the pivotal role played by talent agencies in shaping the influencer marketing landscape.

"The Influencer Marketing Show is a pinnacle event for brands, agencies, and creators alike to showcase Best-In-Class work. We believe that this is an incredibly special event to highlight and give accolades to those in the creator economy for their hard work and efforts." - Raji Behniwal, Senior Director, Head of Marketing & Comms at Captiv8

Hosted by Hello Partner, the GIMAs have evolved into a powerhouse that holds more significance than ever before. These awards have the power to challenge, inspire, foster teamwork, and strengthen client relationships, reflecting the dynamic nature of the influencer marketing and creator economy industry.

"Receiving an IMA is a huge recognition for any company in the industry, and to have received five awards last year was a huge milestone for our business and its people. And getting to see the whole industry together, and celebrate with our peers is always a wonderful experience." - Becky Owen, CMO at Billion Dollar Boy

This luxury venue will host a gathering of industry leaders, celebrating the remarkable achievements of trailblazing campaigns, fearless creators, and successful influencer marketing strategies.

These awards are open to agencies, brands/retailers, vendors, platforms, creators, and technology partners. What sets the GIMAs apart is the requirement for entrants to showcase their campaigns, teams, or partnerships through an ‘Entry Creative’, whether that is a video or an image. This creative aspect adds a unique dimension to the submission process, allowing participants to highlight their creativity and innovation.

The GIMAs have become an indispensable event for those at the forefront of the influencer marketing and creator economy industry. As we look forward to the 2024 edition, we anticipate a celebration of innovation, creativity, and the tireless efforts of those who continue to shape the future of influencer marketing.
