The UK Business Tech Awards recognise the most outstanding businesses and individuals shaping the future of technology in the United Kingdom. The recognition highlights a year of significant growth and innovation for Axis, which has continued to expand its global footprint while helping publishers and advertisers navigate an increasingly complex digital advertising ecosystem.
The nomination for Ad Tech Company of the Year recognizes Axis's continued investment in technology, product development, and customer success. Over the past year, the company has strengthened its position in the programmatic advertising market through its flagship SSP and suite of monetization solutions, helping partners improve performance, efficiency, and revenue outcomes.
The Female Founder of the Year shortlist celebrates the leadership of Ann Tarasewicz, who has played a pivotal role in shaping Axis's growth strategy and international expansion. Under her direction, Axis has expanded its international presence, accelerated product innovation, and built a reputation for helping publishers achieve stronger business outcomes.
“Being shortlisted for these two awards is a meaningful recognition of the work our entire team puts in every day. AdTech is a fast-moving space, and to be acknowledged alongside some of the UK’s most innovative companies is both humbling and energising. I’m especially proud of the Female Founder nomination - not just for myself, but for every woman building in tech who deserves to see herself reflected in these conversations.”
