2022 International Content Marketing Award Winners

The winners of the 2022 International Content Marketing Awards were announced in our live, virtual ceremony on Thursday, 1st December. The CMA saw a record-breaking number of entries to the awards this year, the most competitive year to date, with entries coming in from more organisations and countries across the world than ever before.

The 2022 winners were chosen by 138 of the industry’s leading content marketing experts from various sectors, who discussed each and every entry at length. The gold, silver and bronze winners that were selected by the judging panels make a stunning list of talent, and feature both in-house brand teams and many different content marketing agencies. To be shortlisted against such tough competition is already a great accolade, and to go on and win an award at this year’s ceremony marks a phenomenal achievement. You can see the full list of winners below.

A huge congratulations to all of this year’s winners, you should all be very proud of your achievement!
