We’re proud to share that CARMA has taken home seven awards at the 2025 DataComms Awards, recognising the impact of our work across reputation research, storytelling and innovation.
The honours reflect the trust our clients place in us to deliver insight that informs action, whether that’s navigating complex media landscapes, aligning messaging with strategic goals or understanding public sentiment at scale.
Hosted in London and judged by senior leaders from Canva, UNiDAYS, UCL, Sainsbury’s and the Information Commissioner’s Office, this year’s ceremony brought together some of the best in communications and analytics. CARMA was recognised across three regions: MENA, West and Asia, for projects that blend data science with human intelligence to support communications that matter.
Our wins included:
Gold
- Best Data Insight from a Communications Campaign (One-off) – CARMA’s Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Reputation Report
Silver
- Best Use of Data to Assist Reputation Management – CARMA’s Aviation Reputation Report
- Most Innovative Use of Data – A Global Premium Automotive Manufacturer and CARMA
- Best Data-Driven Corporate Storytelling – Honda and CARMA
- Best Data-Driven Corporate Reporting – CARMA’s Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Reputation Report
Bronze
- Best Use of Data to Assist Reputation Management – Honda and CARMA
- Best Data Insight from a Communications Campaign (One-off) – Ogilvy with Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Culture and CARMA
From Insight to Impact
Our Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Reputation Report, recognised with both Gold and Silver, offered a three-year view of Saudi Arabia’s media narrative around Vision 2030. It helped clients strengthen communications and engagement, leading to a notable rise in pipeline activity and audience reach.
Other award-winning projects included our Aviation Reputation Report, which explored brand perception across the airline sector, and Honda’s European communications, where we supported messaging on sustainability and innovation. We were also proud to collaborate on the Year of the Camels campaign with the Saudi Ministry of Culture, showing how cultural insight and data can come together to tell meaningful stories.
Thank You
This recognition belongs to our talented teams in MENA, West and Asia, and to the clients who continue to partner with us in pushing the boundaries of what communications insight can achieve. As Jennifer Sanchis, one of our award-winning consultants, said:
“This is proof that we don’t just advise on best practice, we live it.”
We’re excited to build on this momentum and continue supporting our partners with insight that’s grounded, purposeful and measurable.
