Update: We know that many of you are monitoring the rapidly evolving coronavirus situation. While we had hoped to bring you together for Ad Age A-List & Creativity Awards celebration, we realize this is likely not possible given the public health concerns we all share. Ad Age is currently exploring alternate dates, and we appreciate your patience as we work to bring you the best event and issue possible. We will keep you posted on details as we have them. If you have any questions, please email [email protected]

It’s the moment the industry has been waiting for: the Ad Age A-List & Creativity Awards finalists. These awards honor the forward-thinking leaders, top agencies and creative innovators in the industry today. The Agency and Production Company A-Lists are handpicked by the Ad Age editorial staff, who comb through hundreds of submissions. The Creativity Awards are chosen by esteemed juries led by Ad Age.

This year, for the first time, individuals and agencies will not know what category (or categories) they’re taking home honors in until the night of the gala on April 14. The idea is to maintain a little old-school award show suspense and surprise.

Also new this year, we have expanded the Creativity Awards to include a dedicated Production section of categories, which honor various individuals and top post-production companies for outstanding achievements.

Ad Age A-List & Creativity Award finalists and winners will be jointly recognized at a gala held in New York on April 14.

The full list of honorees in all categories (including standouts and to watch lists) is below, followed by Creativity Award finalists listed by category. Congratulations to everyone on this list and good luck!
