Mediahuis at the Media Awards 2026

The Media Awards 2026, held on 7 May at the Mansion House in Dublin, marked a standout moment of recognition across the industry.

On the night, we were proud to take home four awards across key categories. We secured Gold for Media Brand of the Year with Indo Sport with Joe Molloy from the Irish Independent, alongside another Gold for Best Use of Irish Language for the An Post Proud Sponsors of Seachtain Podcast, delivered in partnership with Core Sponsorship and Starcom, part of Core.

We also received two Bronze awards: one for Best Use of AV for Where Trust Meets Growth: Redefining News Subscriptions in Ireland, in collaboration with the Irish Independent and Havas Media Ireland, and another for Best Sales Initiative for In-Market, a first-party intent strategy designed to drive real business outcomes.

We were also proud to sponsor the Rising Star Award, which was presented to Anna Forde from Buymedia. It is always encouraging to see emerging talent recognised, and we extend our congratulations and best wishes to Anna for her future in the industry.

These awards reflect the creativity, collaboration and ambition that continue to drive our work forward.
