The “Digital Summit and Digital Marketing Award 2026” booklet captures the insights, achievements, and defining moments of two of Bangladesh Brand Forum’s flagship initiatives that continue to shape the country’s digital marketing landscape. The 12th Digital Summit, themed “Rethinking Digital – Strategy, Story & Science,” presented by Meghna Group of Industries (MGI) and powered by Walton Refrigerator, brought together the country’s leading marketers, business leaders, communication professionals, and technology experts to examine the rapidly evolving digital ecosystem. Through keynote sessions, panel discussions, insight sessions, case studies, and an expert deep dive, the summit explored how artificial intelligence, shifting consumer behaviour, creator ecosystems, data-driven decision-making, and the convergence of creativity and technology are redefining modern marketing. The booklet distills these thought-provoking discussions into practical insights, offering readers a valuable resource to navigate an increasingly intelligent, connected, and fast-changing digital landscape.
Alongside the summit, the 9th Digital Marketing Award, presented by Meghna Group of Industries (MGI) and powered by Walton Refrigerator, celebrated 89 outstanding digital marketing campaigns across 26 categories, recognising the campaigns that demonstrated exceptional creativity, strategic thinking, technological innovation, and measurable business impact. The booklet presents category-wise winners and their campaigns, highlighting the agencies and brands that set new benchmarks for digital excellence.
