Radiocentre crowned Media Trade Body of the Year in Campaign Media Company Awards 2026

Winners of the inaugural Campaign Media Company Awards were revealed earlier today (28th April) and we are delighted that Radiocentre has won Media Trade Body of the Year.

This brand-new award scheme from Campaign puts the spotlight on the media owners, publishers, and vendors with operations in the UK who underpin the advertising industry.

Campaign’s report described Radiocentre as “an outstanding, category-leading organisation, recognised for delivering across a notably broad remit with clarity and momentum” and referred to our work as “highly credible and impactful… well evidenced, easy to follow, and rich in relevant examples that demonstrate influence, effectiveness and strong stewardship of commercial radio and audio.”

Radiocentre’s CEO Matt Payton said:

“We’re a small team, but one that is passionate about the work we do and the industry we represent. While we are always looking at ways to improve, this award provides welcome recognition for all of our hard work and genuinely means a lot. Thank you to Campaign and their judges for this honour.”

Thinkbox and Newsworks were both highly commended in the same category.

There was further good news for audio in other categories, with Simon Kilby of Bauer Media named Media Leader of the Year.
