The A-List & Creativity Awards honor forward-thinking agencies, production companies, brand marketers, talent and work. The long-running A-List is judged by the Ad Age editorial staff, who comb through hundreds of submissions. The Creativity Awards are chosen by esteemed juries led by Ad Age.
What are the new categories for the 2024 awards?
The A-List Awards, which recognize the industry's best-in-class agencies, include two brand-new categories: Independent Agency of the Year and Performance Marketing Agency of the Year. Additionally, this year we've split Agency Network of the Year into separate categories for global and U.S. networks.
The Creativity Awards have five new categories—Brand of the Year; Best Partnership/Collaboration; Best Use of AI; Editor of the Year and Executive Producer of the Year. We've also divided Creative of the Year into agency and in-house categories.
Back for the second year is Best Use of TikTok, presented by Ad Age and TikTok, which will be chosen by a jury composed of Ad Age editors and TikTok executives. Free to enter, the award will honor an agency or brand that understands TikTok’s core DNA—showing the power of creativity on the platform—and created work made for TikTok that drove cultural and/or commercial impact.
What are the deadlines for the 2024 awards?
The final deadline for the A-List & Creativity Awards is Dec. 5, 2023. (We want you to enjoy your holiday break.)
