Mumbrella has officially named the winners of its 2025 Travel Marketing Awards.

Klook Australia and New Zealand won two awards on the night — Best Celebrity or Influencer Campaign and Social Idea of the Year — for its Fandom Tour initiative — a campaign that leveraged “fandom-fuelled travel” to generate over 14 million organic social media views and boost site traffic by 85%.

The 2024 winner for Travel Marketing Team of the Year, Crystalbrook Collection, won Best Use of Data thanks to its guest insight framework and NPS system.

Fred&Co Digital Advertising nabbed Breakthrough Destination of the Year alongside Leonards Advertising Media and Big Head Digital for their work on ‘Give the Kimberley a Crack’.

Meanwhile, culture and PR agency Example’s work for Intercontinental Sydney, ‘The Oldest Lift Bar’, won it Best Campaign with a Small Budget.

As always, the awards weren’t just for projects, but also for the efforts of companies and their teams.
