Creating World-Class Impact Through Distinctive Landmarks and Experiences

Two Gold-winning campaigns led the way. The launch of the world-class mixed-use development Central Park, under the concept “Here for Bangkok”, won Excellence in Launch Marketing. The campaign reimagined how to launch a retail landmark. Rather than focusing solely on opening day, it established a new destination that brings retail, culinary experiences, culture, wellness and park life into the everyday lives of Bangkok residents. Activities created with the city and local communities included the “Conversation Chair” in Lumphini Park, “Hello Neighbor!” privileges for people in the neighbourhood, and the “Neighborhood Soul” campaign. A major highlight was the opening of Roof Park, Thailand’s largest urban rooftop park, in the heart of Bangkok. During the four-day Grand Opening, visitor numbers exceeded the target by 114%.

The other Gold-winning campaign, “Disney The Magical Stars 2026 at centralwOrld”, won Excellence in Sponsorship Activation. It elevated sponsorship into an integrated activation platform connecting consumer experiences, business and tourism. The campaign generated more than 429 million impressions and 24.9 million engagements, while helping drive 10% growth in tenant sales. These results reinforce centralwOrld’s position as a Global Festive Destination and set a new standard for sponsorship activation in Thailand.

Turning Data and Insights into Growth for Partners

“The 1 BIZ, Marketing Intelligence Solutions” won two awards: Silver in Excellence in Marketing Transformation and Bronze in Excellence in B2B Marketing. Central Pattana drew on data and the strength of its ecosystem to develop The 1 BIZ, a platform connecting partner brands with more than 23 million The 1 members. It gives businesses of all sizes, from global brands to small entrepreneurs, access to CRM tools and insights that help them understand customers and plan marketing more effectively. The platform reflects Central Pattana’s evolving role from landlord to growth partner. In 2025, more than 1,400 brands participated across over 3,000 stores nationwide. Sales generated through the ecosystem grew tenfold, from THB 1 billion in 2022 to THB 10 billion in 2025.

Connecting Thailand with Travellers Worldwide Through Search Intelligence

Central Pattana also won Silver in Excellence in Search Marketing for its “Integrated Search Strategy for International Tourist Acquisition”. The strategy evolved search marketing from a traffic-driving tool into live demand intelligence across nine key shopping centres in six destinations nationwide, including centralwOrld, Central Phuket, Central Pattaya, Central Chiangmai and Central Samui. By analysing search behaviour by destination, nationality and season, the team refined keywords, content, landing pages and visitor experiences to meet the needs of each market. As a result, qualified tourist traffic grew by 3.9%, total tourist visits reached a record more than 70 million, and tourist spending grew by more than 76%.
