The Mortgage Industry Marketing Awards 2025 is still receiving nominations from across the industry until 5th September.
So while we're waiting to see which leading marketers we'll have the privilege of celebrating at this year's awards, we spoke to three of our recent winners about their experience of taking home the trophy, and how it felt to win...
"To be honest? Amazing. It was only my first year working in marketing so to be recognised as doing good work so soon caught me by surprise. And to actually win Rising Star? Unreal feeling.
"This is quite sad but it's on display next to my TV so I see it every day... it gives me a bit of perspective though when things aren't going so well.
"Personally, my confidence has grown massively since winning the award. Professionally, I think that I'm seen in a more serious light now after winning a MIMA alongside having my CIM certification. Makes me smile everytime I think about my MIMA win if I'm honest, I still feel like I'm in a state of disbelief."
- Lewis Dite, Hodge, Rising Star winner 2023
"Winning Best Brand Building Activity for our Tech Talk event was hugely rewarding. The event was carefully planned so that everything felt seamless to those in the room, but behind it was months of work from our small team to get every detail right.
"To have that recognised by the industry felt like real validation that our approach worked - the flow, the audience engagement, and the way we used it to both educate and launch our new Originations platform. It’s not often that the behind the scenes effort is celebrated, so this was a standout moment for us.
"It’s given the team a real sense of pride and momentum. We’ve set a standard for ourselves now and we’re eager to bring home another MIMA this year. Winning is a clear sign that what we’re doing as a marketing team is working, and working well, which has given us a real boost in confidence to keep pushing forward."
- Joseph Ball, One Mortgage System, Brand Building Activity of the Year winner 2024
"We were incredibly proud to win a MIMA last year. To be recognised for our hard work in this way was really satisfying, especially as we know everyone in our category was so deserving. A huge thank you to Financial Reporter for hosting these awards!
"Winning this award gave us a sense of recognition, and that has been great in helping us to drive forward with our marketing strategy this year. The knowledge that others in the sector are impressed by our work, and the content we produce, has been a great motivator for us as a team."
- Jennifer Harrison, MPowered Mortgages, Best Marketing - Fintech winner 2024
