Admitad Wins Bronze at India Digital Summit 2026

We are pleased to announce that Admitad has been awarded Bronze at the India Digital Summit Awards for our innovative Telegram Affiliate Carnival campaign. This recognition underscores our commitment to pioneering new-age commerce channels and transforming messaging platforms into performance-driven marketing ecosystems.

Turning Telegram into a Commerce Channel

With the rapid growth of Telegram communities among deal-seekers and content-driven audiences, Admitad identified a significant opportunity to expand beyond traditional affiliate channels. The Telegram Affiliate Carnival was strategically designed to unite brands and Telegram publishers in a competitive, gamified environment driving awareness, engagement, and conversions at scale.

The campaign successfully activated an extensive network of Telegram creators and community administrators, positioning Telegram as a comprehensive marketing platform rather than simply a deal-sharing channel.

Driving Innovation in Performance Marketing

The Telegram Affiliate Carnival introduced a leaderboard-based competition model that encouraged participation from both established and niche Telegram communities. This inclusive approach ensured sustained engagement, broader market reach, and incremental growth for participating brands.

By leveraging trust-based community recommendations and real-time messaging capabilities, the campaign delivered exceptional engagement rates and high-intent conversions, demonstrating the effectiveness of messaging-led commerce strategies.

A Milestone Achievement

Winning Bronze at the India Digital Summit Awards represents the collaborative success of our advertisers, publishers, and creators. The achievements of the Telegram Affiliate Carnival demonstrate how innovative strategies and emerging platforms can fundamentally reshape digital commerce in India and beyond.

This recognition validates our approach to identifying and capitalizing on new marketing opportunities while maintaining our focus on delivering measurable results for all stakeholders.

Whats Next?

At Admitad, we remain dedicated to innovation and continue exploring new platforms, formats, and technologies to help brands and publishers achieve sustainable growth. This award reinforces our commitment to building a future-ready, performance-driven ecosystem powered by creators, communities, and smart tracking.

As we move forward, we will continue to push the boundaries of affiliate marketing, ensuring our partners are well-positioned to succeed in an evolving digital landscape.
