We’re proud to announce our return as an Official Premier Supporter of the Construction Marketing Awards (CMAs) 2026, continuing our commitment to championing best practice and innovation across the construction sector.
This represents just the latest of our marketing initiatives with the CMA team. The Think Tank has partnered with the CMAs for many years since its founding over 25 years ago. They are the industry’s premier celebration of marketing excellence, and recognise the creativity, strategy and impact delivered by marketing teams and agencies working within construction and the built environment.
Celebrating excellence in construction marketing
The construction sector is home to incredibly talented marketers who are driving real commercial results, often in challenging and complex markets. It’s the CMAs that provide a vital platform for sharing best practice, inspiring innovation and demonstrating the strategic value marketing brings to construction businesses.
As a marketing agency with deep expertise in the construction and built environment sectors, we understand the unique challenges marketers face in this space. We recently brought together nine senior marketing leaders from across the UK construction sector for an in-depth roundtable exploring construction marketing in 2026.
We’ve since produced a report that offers a deep-dive into the important insights that were offered, including analysis of how construction marketing has developed into its own strategic discipline. As the roundtable participants discussed, it has evolved into a multi-skilled role that requires a complex blend of technical knowledge, strategic thinking and creative execution.
It’s part of the reason we’re delighted to once again support the CMAs, which recognises and rewards the efforts of this highly adept group of marketers.
The CMAs celebrate the full spectrum of marketing achievement – from brand campaigns and digital innovation to content marketing and lead generation – recognising both in-house teams and agency partners who are raising the bar for the industry. As past winners and a top-three agency in the latest CMA Agency League , we’re aware of just how much these awards mean.
Key dates for your diary
The CMAs 2026 will launch on social media in late March, with entries officially opening on Monday 20th April 2026.
Shortlist judging will take place on Thursday 1st October, with finalists announced shortly after. The winners will be revealed at the prestigious gala dinner on Thursday 19th November in central London, bringing together the construction marketing community for an evening of celebration and networking.
Good luck to all entrants
Whether you’re an in-house marketing team, an agency partner or a freelance specialist working in construction, we wish you the very best of luck with your entries.
We can’t wait to see the calibre of entries this year and to celebrate your achievements at the gala dinner in November.
