Adweek's 2024 Media Agency of the Year Awards

Adweek is now accepting submissions for its 2024 Media Agency of the Year awards.

Media agencies may apply for recognition in each of three categories:

Breakthrough: For this award, Adweek considers agencies founded five or fewer years ago, whether within or outside of holding company networks. It also welcomes older agencies to apply, provided that within the past five years they’ve launched media practices with demonstrated business impact.

Global: Competitive candidates will have experience managing media at scale across all geographic regions. Those without a presence in every region may still apply, but must draw a significant portion of billing from work done outside the U.S.

U.S.: Media agencies with a significant presence in the U.S. market may apply. This category is the most competitive of the three, given the significant contribution of the U.S. to the advertising economy relative to other geographies. Impressive candidates are industry disruptors with stellar new business records, compelling work and demonstrated commitments to social good.

Last year, Adweek named IPG Mediabrands’ Initiative its Global Media Agency of the Year, Publicis Media’s Starcom its U.S. Media Agency of the Year, and Stagwell’s Gale its Breakthrough Agency of the Year. This year’s applicants must show they’ve made the media landscape more innovative, equitable and sustainable than Adweek’s previous Media Agency of the Year winners.
