Runner ups
Introducing the TMW 100 awards
The world's first independent awards event championing innovation in the global marketing technology industry.
2024’s TMW 100 is the second iteration of our international awards ceremony, where the world’s most innovative marketing technology companies go head-to-head based on merit.
Following a triumphant debut year, we're raising the stakes as we continue our search for the heavyweight champions of innovation across the globe.
Applicants will be shortlisted for the top 100 by a panel of judges, made of leading Martech authorities from all major regions of the world including Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and MENA.
And, final rankings within the top 100 will be decided by those whose opinion matters most: Your target audience - the global marketing public.
Celebrating Knockout Innovation in 2024
How it works
TMW 100 has three phases
Martech companies step into the ring by submitting an innovation application
A People’s choice and Judge’s pick vote will rank the 100 contenders from 1st to 100th place
Release of the ranked 100 most innovative at our live ceremony, online and with the 2024 Martech Innovation Index Report
-
The judging panel is made up of leading Martech authorities from all major regions of the world, including Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and MENA. Each Judge will receive a randomised allotment of applications and select three of their most innovative.
-
The event launches for applications on the 22nd May 2024, and closes on the 30th August. The winners are announced on October 30th, 2024. The cost to apply is US$799.
-
TMW 100 awards ceremony will be hosted at the 2-day Martech World Forum London by TMW where we will be announcing the winners of the event, releasing the ranked 100 list, interviewing the winners of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, and presenting our insights and findings in early November.
-
TMW 100 is pledging 5% of all event proceeds as a donation to Rest of World - a nonprofit publication that challenges expectations about whose experiences with technology matter.
Meet the judges
Our panel of martech authorities from around the world were tasked with selecting the companies that get the Judge’s Pick designation for the global TMW 100.
Why you should apply for TMW 100
Share your unique Martech solution with the world
Paid-for reviews and PR across consulting bodies and review sites have left marketers' trust on the ropes.
But with your vendor-agnostic TMW 100 badge, you can proudly display your global ranking as a top 10, 25, 50, 75, or 100 Martech company to help you build brand awareness and win more customers.
Watch the marketing world cheer for your tech
The final 100 shortlisted Martech companies will then be presented at Martech World Forum in November 2024 in London. While 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will present their tech in front of 500+ senior, brand-side marketing technologists and accept their awards.
Flights and accommodation – for one delegate from your company – are reimbursed for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners.
Skyrocket your growth
By entering TMW 100, you're not just competing for an award; you're opening the door to the global recognition and exposure that comes with being a TMW 100 champion.
Kush Loothra, Vice President of ReBid, which placed third in last year's awards, reported "remarkable client growth" in the 12 months following the event.
This success story showcases the tremendous value of being recognized as a top Martech company.
Reach over 1 million marketers across
65 countries
The 1st place winner will be featured on the cover of the 2024 Martech Innovation Index Report – and will get a full write-up, along with 2nd and 3rd place winners.
But that's not all. All the top 100 Martech companies will be featured with their rankings in the report, along with additional insights and findings about the global Martech industry.
Prove your worth,
not the size of
your ad budget
Until now, smaller contenders or those from Tier 2 or Tier 3 countries struggled to get in the ring with the industry's big players. TMW 100 levels the playing field, giving innovative Martech companies a fair shot at competing against major brands.
Our low-cost application fee of US$799 ensures that every company has a chance to be selected to join TMW 100 and participate in the People’s Choice vote to receive your final ranking in the top 100.

FAQ

Any company that serves marketers with technology is welcome to apply for the 2024 TMW 100.

How much does it cost to apply?
Our application fee is $799 USD, with earlybird entry cost of $599 USD (25% discount) . This ensures that every company has a chance to be selected to join TMW 100 and participate in the people's choice vote to receive its final ranking in the top 100.

How long are applications open for?
Awards Launch: 22 May 2024 6:00am PST
Earlybird Application Deadline: 28 June 2024 11:59pm PST
Final Application Deadline: 30 August 2024 11:59pm PST
What do I need to include in my application?
The application case study section has three questions with a 300-word count limit each - 900 words maximum. There is an optional testimonial section to add 3 testimonials at 150 words maximum.
Where and when will the TMW 100 top 3 awards be presented?
The top 3 winners of TMW 100, along with the top 100 shortlisted martech companies, people's choice & category leaders, will be presented live at the Martech World Forum event (early November 2024) in London, United Kingdom.
How do the judges determine the TMW 100 list?
A global panel of judges has been selected from countries across all major regions, including Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, LatAm, and MENA.
TMW 100 judges are each assigned a randomly generated selection of all applications. Each TMW 100 judge receives 3 votes each to select their nominees to progress to people’s choice voting. The judges evaluate each company by assessing the application completeness, the novelty of the solution, the commercial and customer impact of the solution, and the strength of customer or employee testimonials.
How does the people's choice voting work?
All successful applicants will progress to a people's choice vote where the public can view basic company information, and innovation case study, and vote for your company. We only allow for one vote per company per person.
To ensure that the voting process is fair for all participants regardless of company size, we set a handicap for smaller companies that adds a multiplier to their final vote count. Companies can qualify for a handicap based on the employee headcount range in your application. For example, a small company with less than 5 employees will receive 3 votes for every 1 vote cast by the public in the final count. This is to ensure that companies with a larger proportion of employees, customers, and audiences don't have an unfair advantage in garnering votes from the public.
Which judges will be shortlisting the top 100 martech companies?
A global panel of judges has been from countries across all major regions, including Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, LatAm, and MENA.
There will be additional considerations for judges when it comes to large multinational marketing technology companies that apply, as these groups may have a large consumer base that could skew the vote results. We will work with judges on a case-by-case basis throughout the event.
What are the benefits for winners?
At the conclusion Martech World Forum event, each company who either won peoples choice, category leader or placed in the Top 100 will get a badge to display on their website - with their specific ranking and a badge showing their status as a top 10, top 25, top 50, top 75, or top 100 martech companies.
All top 100 companies will be featured on themartechweekly.com rankings list and be featured in an end-of-year 2024 report on insights and findings.
