Finalists Announced for Ad Age's New Creativity Awards
Advertising Age this year expanded its annual Agency A-List honors for the first time to include the Creativity Awards, recognizing and celebrating not only excellent work and outstanding people in the industry but amazingly creative companies driving innovations that might not even comprise traditional advertising. We are now pleased to present the finalists, chosen over days of spirited judging by juries of the industry's brightest stars. The winners will be announced at the A-List & Creativity Awards Gala in New York on April 19. Deloitte Digital is the premier sponsor of the Creativity Awards.
