Media4U has been named a finalist in the prestigious Global Digital Excellence Awards 2025 – one of the most important events in the global digital industry.
The jury recognized the agency’s projects in two categories:
- Standout Public Sector / Not-for-Profit / Charity Website of the Year – for the platform created for the Happy Kids Foundation
- Standout Platform / Technology / Tool – for the proprietary product Cartalo BOX
This recognition places Media4U among the world’s leading digital agencies, reaffirming its position as a partner that combines advanced technology with the real needs of businesses and social organizations.
Which projects were nominated for the Global Digital Excellence Awards?
The Global Digital Excellence Awards, organized since 2023, celebrate outstanding websites, campaigns, tools, and teams from around the world for creative thinking in web development, innovative use of data, technical implementation in campaigns, pioneering research tools, breakthrough technologies, and teams that drive growth and profitability. Media4U’s entries stood out strongly in this year’s edition.
Cartalo is a premium e-commerce platform developed by Media4U, based on 25 years of industry experience. It is available in three versions – Cartalo BOX (SaaS), Cartalo Engine, and Cartalo Enterprise – allowing retailers to flexibly launch and scale their business without the need to change platforms. The solution offers rapid implementation (in as little as 30 days), robust security, and compliance with European regulations (GDPR, WCAG, Omnibus Directive). Its strengths also include advanced features supporting both B2C and B2B sales, such as multi-language and multi-currency support, integrations, advanced filtering, and loyalty mechanisms.
The Happy Kids Foundation, on the other hand, provides children with safe and nurturing foster families. Through its website, the foundation primarily reaches out to potential foster families, volunteers, and companies, while also collecting donations. The cooperation with Media4U focused on improving the layout and readability of the website. Additionally, the foundation collaborated on the production of an audiobook, which required the development of an online sales module within the site.

E-commerce means excellence
At Media4U, we believe that e-commerce is the effective combination of great technology and the work of exceptional people. The nominations in the Global Digital Excellence Awards prove that this approach not only meets clients’ needs but also helps shape the future of the industry on an international level.
“We are extremely proud that our projects have been recognized among the best in the world. The nomination for Cartalo BOX confirms that Media4U’s proprietary technological solutions are truly transforming the way e-commerce operates. The recognition for our project with the Happy Kids Foundation is especially meaningful – it shows that technology can support not only business but also social causes that bring real value to people. These are the kinds of connections that give our work deeper purpose.” – said Maciej Kasperek, CEO of Media4U.
What’s next?
The winners will be announced on October 16, 2025. This is a particularly special moment for Media4U, which this year celebrates its 25th anniversary, marking the milestone among the world’s digital leaders.
This is not the first time Media4U has been recognized in an international competition. In 2022, the company was awarded at the European E-commerce Awards for its work with the R-GOL brand. Most recently, Media4U received an E-commerce Polska Awards 2025 prize for its collaboration with Kolor Plus Studio.
