Ad Age Small Agency Awards are open and include new categories

Give your agency some love this Valentine's Day: Enter the Ad Age Small Agency Awards. The Ad Age Small Agency Awards, now in its 15th year, is the only awards program of its kind tailored to agencies of 150 or fewer employees. The awards honor independent agencies excelling in three important areas: creating amazing and effective work for clients, building a financially healthy business and cultivating a diverse and rewarding environment for employees. Judges are seeking ingenuity and nimbleness in a real-time marketing world as well as versatility of work spanning digital, social, experiential, TV, print and more. These awards celebrate shops that may be smaller in size than big agencies but have the smarts, the chops and the culture to compete against the giants—and win.
