MMA Announces SMARTIES™ Thailand 2026 Winners, Recognizing Marketing That Delivers Business Impact
"Thailand’s marketing industry has crossed a threshold this year. The campaigns we recognized at SMARTIES™ 2026 are globally competitive. What sets the best Thai work apart is how seamlessly brands have integrated data, AI, and platform intelligence into the creative process. These are not technology-led campaigns that happen to be creative. They are audience-first ideas that use technology to deliver at scale. That is a meaningful distinction, and it is one the rest of Asia Pacific should be paying close attention to."
Rohit Dadwal, CEO, MMA APAC and Global Head of SMARTIES™
