Following the judging for the Campaign Media Company of the Year Awards 2026, we’re incredibly proud to share that Bauer Media has been shortlisted in the Audio and Podcast category. This recognition feels particularly special as it marks the awards’ inaugural year – one that has already set a high benchmark, attracting a significant volume of entries and a strong calibre of competition from across the industry.

To be acknowledged in such a competitive field is a testament to the continued growth, innovation and influence of Bauer Media’s audio and podcast offering. Over the past year, we’ve remained focused on delivering high-quality content, building meaningful audience connections and creating impactful commercial opportunities for our partners, making this shortlist a moment of real pride for everyone involved.

We’re equally delighted that Simon Kilby, Managing Director of Bauer Media Advertising, has been shortlisted for Media Leader of the Year. This is a fantastic and well-deserved recognition of Simon’s leadership, strategic vision and the energy he brings to driving our business forward. His commitment to innovation, collaboration and delivering value for clients continues to make a lasting impact not only within Bauer Media, but across the wider media landscape.

We now look ahead with excitement to the final results, with winners set to be announced on Wednesday 22 April.
