Sales intelligence platform Pearlfinders will return as Headline Sponsor of the 2026 ESA Awards.
After the success of the 2025 ESA Awards in partnership with Pearlfinders, the company will again support Europe’s most prestigious sponsorship awards throughout the judging and entry process and culminating in the ceremony in London on 12 March 2026.
Pearlfinders will also sponsor the ESA Sponsorship of the Year category, won in 2025 by Gjensidige’s ‘Breathing Space’ campaign (pictured below).
Pearlfinders CEO & Co-Founder Denese Colbourne commented: “At Pearlfinders, we’re always looking ahead to the future, so returning as Headline Sponsor of the 2026 ESA Awards is a perfect fit.
“As the only platform offering dedicated solutions across commercial teams in Sport & Entertainment and Charity & Arts, Pearlfinders is uniquely positioned to empower ESA’s vibrant community with the curated data and insights they need to secure new corporate partners and generate more sponsorship revenue, faster.
“ESA’s work to champion women in sponsorship and its ongoing commitment to promoting sustainability are truly admirable. We’re thrilled to support the ESA community for many years to come.”
ESA Chair Sophie Morris added: “We are incredibly excited about the 2026 ESA Awards in partnership with Pearlfinders, continuing our tradition of celebrating the pinnacle of sponsorship excellence across Europe. I am delighted that Pearlfinders has recognised the stature of our Awards and found so much value in partnering with us for a second successive year.”
