2 GPMA Wins Cap CJ's Best-Ever Year for Awards

Oct 21, 2026
Written by CJ

We're thrilled and honored to have received 2 awards at the 2026 Global Performance Marketing Awards:

  • Silver in Best New Programme Launch or Relaunch with Pizza Hut
  • Silver in Best Programme Optimisation

The GPMAs close out the most successful awards year in CJ's history. Our teams, clients and partners took home 15 honors in 2026 at shows in the US, the UK, and France.

Top honors for the CJ platform

Much of that recognition went to the network and ecosystem we have built with our 3,800+ clients and 189,000+ click active publishers and tech providers. Partnership Week named CJ its Network of the Year back in January at ASW. We took Gold for Best Platform for Partnership Success at the US Partnership Awards and Best Affiliate Marketing Platform from Digiday. At the UK Performance Marketing Awards, CJ added a Silver award for Network or SaaS of the Year.

Leadership in AI

Our work in AI earned Gold for Best Use of AI/Automation in Partnership Marketing at the US Partnership Awards, a gratifying outcome because so much of our product roadmap now runs through AI-powered insight and optimization.

Client Programs delivered stellar results

The programs we build and manage with clients did well too. At the UK Performance Marketing Awards, we won Gold for Best Programme (Re)Launch and Bronze for Best Managed Affiliate Programme with QVC. Les Cas d'Or in France awarded CJ a Gold Medal for Content and a Silver for Search, and our creator work earned a Bronze for Best Influencer Marketing Partnership at the US Partnership Awards with Tork.

Some of the year's honors went straight to our people. CJ took Bronze for Best Team in Performance Marketing at the PMAs. Linda O'Connell, our SVP for the UK and Ireland, was named Affilifest Woman of the Year, and Hello Partner recognized her as one of its 2026 Industry Icons.

Thank you to the clients and partners who trust us with their programs, and to the CJ teams who did the work and then made the time to enter. And thank you to the GPMA judging panel for these most recent wins!
