About
For years, ADWEEK's Agency of the Year awards have recognized the most outstanding agencies setting the standard of excellence across the advertising and marketing industry.
From creative powerhouses to emerging innovators, these honors spotlight the companies setting a new bar for commercial creativity while driving meaningful business results for clients and for themselves.
This year, to reflect the expansion of advertising, marketing, and creativity into new realms, we've added five new categories to expand the breadth of our awards:
- Independent Agency of the Year
- Agency Network of the Year
- Social / Influencer Agency of the Year
- B2B Agency of the Year
- Innovation Agency of the Year
These new categories join the existing seven categories, returning again this year:
- Global Agency of the Year
- International Agency of the Year
- U.S. Agency of the Year
- Midsize Agency of the Year
- Small Agency of the Year
- Breakthrough Agency of the Year
- Multicultural Agency of the Year
ADWEEK's Agency of the Year Awards are open to agencies worldwide. This year, to support our investment in the awards, we have added a fee for all entrants:
- Early Bird Deadline: $375 until 8/8
- Standard Deadline: $425 until 9/12
- Extended Deadline: $475 after 9/12
- Final Deadline: 9/26
Entries will be evaluated by ADWEEK's editorial team across business results, creative excellence, talent development, leadership, innovation, and impact.
A shortlist of 5 nominees per category will be published in ADWEEK prior to the winners, which will be announced in a special feature package in the December issue. A winning agency will have the opportunity to design ADWEEK's magazine cover that month.
Whether you're a scrappy upstart or an established global force, this is your opportunity to showcase your agency's best work, strongest thinking, and clearest vision for where the industry is headed next.
