What a year.
ย
First, a genuine thank you to everyone who took the time to submit an application for the Pigment Awards 2025. We received more entries than ever before, and the quality was something else. The level of thought, ambition, and real business impact behind these projects stood out immediately.
ย
Reading through your submissions, one thing was clear: teams are not just using Pigment, theyโre reshaping how planning happens inside their organisations. Faster decisions, clearer alignment, smarter processes. Itโs exciting to see.
ย
Our judges had their work cut out for them. Narrowing down a shortlist across so many strong transformation stories was no small taskโฆ and choosing the winners pushed that challenge even further.
ย
So first, congratulations to everyone who made the shortlist. That alone is a serious achievement. If youโre on it, take a moment to celebrate, whether thatโs with your team internally or by sharing it more widely.
ย
And now, to our winners:
๐ The Bar Raiser Award โ Kevin Snyder, DIRECTV (โ
๐ The Optimizer Award โ Accelerant
๐ The Visionary Award โ Cross River
๐ The Trailblazer Award โ Docker
๐ The Game-Changer Award โ Danone
๐ Honorable Mention โ BMG
ย
A huge congratulations to each of you. These projects set a high bar and showcase whatโs possible when teams fully lean into transformation.
ย
If you havenโt yet, itโs worth exploring the stories behind these wins. Thereโs a lot to learn and plenty of inspiration to take back to your own teams.
ย
Already thinking about next year? Submissions for the Pigment Awards 2026 will open towards the end of this year. We canโt wait to see what you build next.
