ND Agency Wins Gold and Silver at the 2026 Global Performance Marketing Awards
Four global award nominations. Two wins. And one very proud independent agency in Sydney.
We're incredibly proud to announce that ND Agency has taken home GOLD and SILVER at the 2026 Global Performance Marketing Awards (GPMA), recognising our work with Brand Collective and Kogan.com.
The awards, held in London on 19 October, celebrate outstanding performance marketing campaigns, innovation and partnerships from across the world.
For a young, independent agency built on the belief that senior expertise, genuine collaboration and hands-on delivery can make a real difference, this recognition is particularly special.
Following four global nominations, including Agency of the Year, two of our client partnerships have now been recognised among the best in the industry.
GOLD: Best Incentive, Loyalty or Cashback Strategy
Brand Collective × ND Agency | Game, Set, Cashback!
Our Gold-winning campaign, Game, Set, Cashback!, brought together 14 Brand Collective brands in a coordinated, one-day activation with ShopBack.
The challenge was to create a compelling customer proposition across a diverse portfolio of brands, each with its own audience, commercial priorities and objectives.
Rather than approaching each brand in isolation, we identified an opportunity to bring them together around a shared promotional moment, combining the collective strength of the portfolio with a highly relevant cashback proposition.
The results spoke for themselves:
336% year-on-year revenue growth through ShopBack across participating brands.
60% of sales generated from new customers.
14 brands united in a single coordinated activation.
Beyond the results, the campaign demonstrated how a collaborative approach between a brand, agency and publisher can unlock opportunities that wouldn't necessarily exist when working independently.
It also reinforced something we believe strongly at ND: effective incentive strategies aren't simply about offering more. They're about creating the right proposition, for the right audience, at the right moment.

SILVER: Best Content & Commerce Partnership
Kogan.com × ND Agency | Turning Editorial Discovery into Measurable Commerce
Our Silver-winning entry recognises our work with Kogan.com to transform content and editorial partnerships into a measurable affiliate growth opportunity.
The strategy focused on building stronger relationships with relevant content publishers, connecting Kogan.com's extensive product range with the moments when consumers are researching, comparing and discovering products.
By moving beyond a purely transactional approach to publisher relationships, we focused on creating ongoing opportunities for editorial visibility, product discovery and measurable commercial performance.
The partnership delivered:
25.6% year-on-year on revenue growth.
The results demonstrate the growing role of content and commerce within affiliate marketing, and the value of investing in meaningful publisher relationships rather than viewing editorial purely as a short-term placement opportunity.
For ND, this recognition is particularly rewarding because it reflects the work involved in building trust, identifying commercially relevant opportunities and creating partnerships that deliver value for brands, publishers and their audiences.
Two Different Strategies. One Shared Philosophy.
While these campaigns took very different approaches, they're both built on principles that sit at the heart of ND Agency.
Strong partnerships. Commercially grounded strategy. Genuine collaboration. And a willingness to challenge the status quo.
Whether we're bringing multiple brands together around a shared opportunity or developing long-term editorial relationships, our focus is always on creating partnerships that make commercial sense and deliver meaningful outcomes.
These awards are a wonderful recognition of that approach, but they're also a reflection of the trust our clients place in us and the people working behind the scenes to bring these ideas to life.
A Proud Moment for Team ND
Just over a year ago, ND Agency was a newly established independent business with a clear ambition: to build a specialist agency where senior expertise stays close to the work, clients feel genuinely supported and great relationships lead to great results.
To now see our work recognised on a global stage, alongside some of the industry's most established agencies, is an incredibly proud milestone.
Neguin Farhangmehr, Founder and Managing Director of ND Agency, reflects:
"When I started ND, I wanted to build an agency that did things a little differently. One where we genuinely cared about our clients, took ownership of the work and never lost the human side of what we do.
To see our little team winning Gold and Silver on a global stage, in such a short space of time, is honestly pretty surreal.
I'm so proud of what we've built together, and even prouder of the people behind it. These awards mean so much because they're a reflection of the trust, relationships and hard work that have brought us here."
A huge thank you to our wonderful clients at Brand Collective and Kogan.com, and to the publisher partners who helped bring these campaigns to life. Your trust, collaboration and willingness to explore new opportunities have been instrumental in these achievements.
And to our incredible ND team, thank you for the passion, expertise, ownership and genuine care you bring to everything we do. These wins belong to all of you.
We're also grateful to the Global Performance Marketing Awards and the judging panel for recognising our work, and extend our congratulations to all the other winners and finalists.
Four global nominations. One GOLD. One SILVER. And plenty more we're excited to build together.
