The IAB New Zealand Digital Advertising Awards celebrates the increasing success of the digital media advertising industry in New Zealand.

In 2018 digital advertising revenue surpassed $1 billion for the first time(1). In 2019 this reached $1.26 billion, with growth of 12.8% on the previous year, following 9 successive quarters of double-digit growth(2), and well above the entire advertising industry’s year-on-year growth of 2.8%(3). Digital revenue continues to grow and cement itself as an increasingly important component of many advertisers’ marketing strategies.

Reflecting the significantly higher profile of the awards over the past two years, key stakeholder feedback from agencies, brands and publishers has contributed to shaping and increasing the number of awards categories. This has increased from 17 in 2018, to 23 in 2019, to 39 in 2020.
