At a glance

For the 2026 index, 506 brands and organizations earned points across the three-edition window, with the 100 highest-scoring places listed below.

This year's story: Sports plays the long game

Sport wins on depth.
No industry has more brands in the ranking than sport. Football clubs, leagues, governing bodies, and Olympic organizers all earned their place, while the top spots went to a foundation, a beer brand, and a city tourism board.
The public sector is a major client.
After sport, government and public bodies are the most represented group in the ranking, from national ministries to city councils.
Gaming is growing.
Six gaming companies made the ranking, from Nintendo to HoYoverse, and the Esports World Cup Foundation sits in the top five.

How the ranking works

The index converts every Eventex award made for a brand or organization across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 editions into points, then adds them up.

In the case of ties, brands with equal points share the same place, with the next placement moving up accordingly. All entries tied for placement are included in the index.

Why a listing matters

A place on the Top 100 Brands pays off well beyond the ranking page.

A credential for the budget conversation.

Experience marketing spend is easier to defend internally with independent proof it’s working — a three-edition record gives marketing leaders something concrete to bring to leadership.
A signal of commissioning quality.

The brands on this list have consistently chosen the partners and ideas worth backing. That’s a reputation any brand can use: it tells agencies, partners, and audiences that this is an organization that invests in work worth talking about.
Separation from one-off campaigns.

Any brand can have one standout activation. A place on this index — especially held across multiple editions — signals a sustained commitment to the craft.

This is also backed by visibility Eventex puts behind the index directly — coverage across our channels, inclusion in our press outreach, and a lasting, linkable record of the achievement.

FAQ

How does a brand earn points?

By being credited as the brand a winning project was made for in the Eventex Awards editions under consideration.

Why isn’t a corporate group ranked on its own?

Corporate groups aren’t ranked directly — their individual brands are. A conglomerate with several award-winning brands will see each brand earn its own points and placement, rather than the group appearing as a single entry.

Why are there ties in the table this year?

Points are awarded in fixed amounts per award level, so it’s common for multiple brands to land on exactly the same total. When that happens, they share a place, and the index lists every brand tied for that spot rather than arbitrarily breaking the tie.

Is this the same as winning an Eventex award?

No. Eventex Awards judge individual entries within a single edition. This index is calculated afterward, converting three editions’ worth of award results into a single ranking of sustained performance.
