Awin celebrates its annual Black Tie Gala in London with key clients active on their affiliate marketing channel. 

Last week we transformed The Brewery in London into an overgrown tropical jungle and celebrated together with our clients. 

It was an immersive sensory explosion that set the stage for our Black Tie Gala. The evening was themed ‘Thrive’. A chance to celebrate the growth of our affiliate marketing channel, and the thriving partnerships between publishers, agencies, tech partners, and advertisers.

Guests were greeted by hummingbird stilt walkers and the venue buzzed with excitement as attendees enjoyed a sumptuous three-course meal, complemented by free-flowing drinks, and live music. Singers, dressed in glittering costumes, belted out classic dance tunes, while a walkabout saxophone player kept the energy of the evening high. 

A photo booth and lash bar provided a touch of fun and glamour, while beautiful, colour-coded butterfly badges aided networking and added a bit of Thrive magic to everyone’s outfits.

Our Regional Managing Director, Rosalyn Berrisford, took the stage to share exciting company news. This includes the launch three tiered versions of our platform, and our  ‘seasonal release’ framework for product updates. This year alone, Awin has introduced 28 new features.

Over the past 12 months, we’ve welcomed 700 new advertisers in the UK, nearly 10,000 new publishers, and are on track to drive over 200,000 newly activated UK partnerships by the end of the year. It was wonderful to have an opportunity to thank everyone in person for embracing the channel and using Awin to forge these new connections. 

The biggest news of the evening came with the announcement that next year’s Black Tie Gala will be held in Portugal as part of our 25th anniversary ThinkTank. The headline speaker at this event is none other than marketing legend, Scott Galloway. We can’t wait to see you all there in 2025.
