We are reeling from last night’s fully virtual ceremony for the Global Digital Excellence Awards. After having received a phenomenal 15 nominations, including three agency awards, we were delighted to go home with (or rather stay home with) a stunning total of eight awards!
This was a triumph for our brilliant, globally digitally excellent teams who devoted themselves to these campaigns, whose hard work, alongside the support of our clients Sephora, kartenmacherei, and faireparterie earned us the awards for five categories.
Plus, a win that all our Peak Acers can share in is our three agency awards – truly something that we could never have achieved without every single person in the company, top to bottom, past and present, over the last year.
Although a little surreal to attend a fully online awards ceremony, it was wonderful to see how the Don’t Panic! team adapted to the restrictions of social distancing – without compromising on spectacle. Could this get any better? Well, yes – the victory was made all the sweeter, because rather than just adding an extra trophy or two to our cabinet, 20% of all awards entry revenue will be donated to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. That means that we and all our fellow entrants have also contributed thousands towards the global fight against the pandemic. Win-win-win!
Here’s the full list of our wins:
Global – Best Use of Facebook –> Peak Ace x Sephora
Global – Best Use of Instagram –> Peak Ace x Sephora
Global Best Outreach Campaign –> Peak Ace x faireparterie
Global Best Interactive Campaign –> Peak Ace x kartenmacherei

Commenting on the wins, our CEO Bastian Grimm says:
“I am blown away by this result – and of course, very grateful to the Global Digital Excellence Awards and Don’t Panic! events for such a fantastic evening! Thank you so much to our clients for their support on all our campaigns this past year, thank you to our wonderful Content Marketing teams, our Head of Content Marketing Dominique Harris and of course to all our Peak Acers, without whom this would never have been possible.”
Many congratulations to all our fellow winners! You can rewatch the whole of last night’s live-streamed ceremony, with all the winner announcements, here.
