Travel Marketing Awards 2026: Aztech receives 14 awards

The Travel Marketing Awards ceremony, which took place last week alongside the Tourism Awards , offered a phenomenal opportunity for the travel and hospitality sector to celebrate organisations and projects doing stellar work – with their sights set on advancing the industry. 

The Aztech team took part and it was with great excitement that we received a host of accolades for our work – a total of 14 awards – and one Platinum. 

For our team it was not only about the amount of awards recognising our work. Operating within the AdTech world, it felt significant to receive Gold, Silver as well as Bronze in the Best Use of Specialised Platforms category, with a diverse range of campaigns:

• “Precision Meets Suitability: Curated YouTube Food & Travel Channels Power Greek Gastronomy” – a campaign for Marketing Greece with the support of AEGEAN that leveraged Channel Factory’s niche capabilities through Custom Inclusion Lists, precision city-level targeting and an emphasis on YouTube Connected TV. The quality of the video content, centering on Greek Gastronomy was a focal point for this campaign
• “Pay-on-the-Stay: Direct hotel bookings, 100% risk-free. A solution built for the hospitality sector!” – Sojern’s commission based model was awarded Silver, recognising the importance of a solution that allows hoteliers to run evergreen campaigns without upfront costs, while leveraging the #1 marketing platform for the hospitality sector to boost direct bookings. 
• “Location Marketing demonstrating an impressive uplift in visitation for Dusit!” – the Bronze award was given to a campaign with measurable impact on visitation uplift through niche targeting based on real-time geolocation signals. 

This serves as an immense recognition of the strategic insights and technical acumen we’ve built over the years, to be able to deliver quality growth strategies through Adtech expertise that allows our customers to capitalise on precision targeting with measurable results. 

At the same time, the 360 work we strategised and executed for Phaea received awards across five different categories:

• Gold in the Best Sales Campaign and Best Social Media Campaign categories
• Silver in Best Advertising and Best Online Campaign categories
• And Bronze in the Best Google Ad Campaign section

Emphasizing a predictive, data-driven architecture, we aimed for a dynamic, multi-country targeting model that would succeed in targeting high-intent luxury travelers and drive the direct booking engine. 

The strategy and strong implementation of the digital campaign for Phaea managed to perform in a very competitive landscape – leading to a strong ROAS across the portfolio. We are excited to see that this intricate strategy was acknowledged across so many categories in this year’s selection, and excited to take our work within the hospitality sector further.

You may have noticed this campaign a little earlier, as it received Gold in the Best Use of Specialised Platforms category. But the accolades didn’t stop there – it was thrilling to learn that this campaign was also awarded Best International Campaign – both Gold and Platinum awards. That serves as proof that when the strategy of the campaign centres around strong creative assets and manages to spotlight them in the best mediums – alongside a tailored Adtech strategy – the audience doesn’t simply skip the message, rather follows it. 

As an agency with deep rooted experience of over 25 years in the travel and hospitality industry, we are beyond excited to see our work recognised with so many accolades across a wide range of projects – and looking forward to creating more rewarding work to promote the Greek travel sector further through a blend of strategic insights, innovative Adtech solutions and deep expertise.
