Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- April 2026 awards opened globally, keeping a monetizable pipeline of entries and tickets.
- The March 2026 ANA acquisition adds established B2B franchises and senior advertiser relationships.
- August 2026 programming with Jon Iwata shows continued access to marquee marketing executives.
What critics are saying
- Google and LinkedIn AI summaries can divert traffic from The Drum's newsroom immediately.
- Awards and events depend on agency budgets; WPP and GroupM cuts hit sponsorship demand in 2026.
- If audience attention shifts to creator-native video, The Drum becomes a niche trade title.
What makes The Drum unique
- The Drum owns The Drum Labs venue and runs live awards in London, not just publishing.
- March 2026 acquisition of ANA Business Marketing programs expands B2B World Fest Miami globally.
- Its awards ecosystem now spans marketing, commerce media, and B2B franchises across regions.

Last week, the Advertising Association - a UK-based trade association - announced the launch of an AI task force aimed at helping the UK's ad industry to navigate both the promise and perils presented by AI.
Earlier this year, The Drum and MOI launched a report exploring the importance of connected B2B experiences as a catalyst for growth in APAC.
Earlier, Drum released the Top 100 Ads list, in which US agencies claimed the top two positions for the most-celebrated campaigns of the year.
The global network was recently recognised as Agency of the Year by global editorial publication The Drum for its delivering creativity in commerce channels at the intersection of physical, digital and social.
The Drum has partnered with Vistar Media to bring you all the answers to these questions.
