Cork Chamber, the voice of business in Cork, celebrated the very best in digital excellence at the Cork Digital Marketing Awards 2025, held at the Rochestown Park Hotel on Friday evening. Hosted by broadcaster Sinéad Kennedy, the event brought together innovators, creators and leaders from across Cork’s business community for a night of recognition and celebration.

The highlight of the night was the announcement of National Beauty Distribution as the prestigious Digital Marketing Legend 2025, recognising their outstanding performance in the digital marketing space.

Speaking at the event, Rob Horgan, President of Cork Chamber said, “The Cork Digital Marketing Awards are about more than celebrating digital talent, they are about championing ambition, creativity and resilience in our business community. National Beauty Distribution exemplify all these qualities. Their vision and execution have set a new benchmark in digital marketing and we are thrilled to recognise them as this year’s Digital Marketing Legend. I also want to extend warm congratulations to all of our category winners this evening, each of whom has shown the power of digital to grow, inspire and connect. A special thanks to our media partner, the Irish Examiner, who continue to elevate the awards and who have generously awarded our overall winner with a Content Studio Package to further fuel their digital journey.”

Reacting to their win, Kieran Walsh, CEO at National Beauty Distribution commented, “To be named Digital Marketing Legend is an incredible honour. For us, digital marketing is the heartbeat of how we connect with customers and grow our brands. Our success has been built on bold ideas, creative storytelling and data-driven campaigns, but above all on the dedication of a truly legendary team. This award celebrates their passion and ambition, and we’re excited to keep raising the bar in digital marketing.”

Annie FitzGibbon, Director of Member Services at Cork Chamber added, “Each year, the awards showcase the ingenuity and vibrancy of businesses across Cork, from new start-ups to household names. Digital marketing now plays a vital role in modern business across every sector, from hospitality and healthcare to professional services and technology.
