EXCLUSIVE: The marketing and promotion creatives working on hit film, TV and games had their moment in the sun at the fourth Global Entertainment Awards over the weekend.
The awards, held in the Algarve, Portugal, recognize work across film, TV, games and streaming.
Brazilian broadcaster Globo’s trailer for its coverage of the Olympic Games won Best Trailer in the TV section, beating nominees including Sky and Peacock drama The Day Of The Jackal. Sky did, however, prevail in the Best Teaser category, where Lockerbie was the winner.
Work on Netflix projects fared well, with an international spread of wins across categories including Best Social Media Spot, for a Next on Netflix India sizzle reel, and Best Behind the Scenes for Brazil-produced drama Senna. Squid Game Season 2 and Baby Reindeer also featured.
The creatives behind Furiosa, A Mad Max Saga and Paddington in Peru landed wins in Best Trailer and Best Social Media Campaign, respectively, in the Cinema section.
In streaming, Paramount+ scooped the 360 Campaign award for its goat campaign. Creative efforts on Disney+ series Rivals scored a Best Social Media Key Art win, and Prime Video’s Fallout triumphed in Best Experiential Marketing.
A 450-strong group of judges scrutinized this year’s entries. The global winners are announced shortly after the regional results were unveiled.
“2025 marks a significant milestone for the Global Entertainment Awards in showcasing the caliber of creative talent shaping the industry,” said Tim Cole, CEO of the Global Entertainment Awards. “We’ve witnessed firsthand the innovative spirit and groundbreaking work that is illuminating the future of entertainment marketing.”
The awards show was presented by Portuguese actress and director Sónia Balacó and Global Entertainment Awards Director, Alejandro Barrios.
