    All nominees are eligible to win two of the Internet industry’s leading honors: The Webby Award, selected by the Academy, and The Webby People’s Voice Award, voted on by the online community. Voting for The Webby People’s Voice Awards is open now through Thursday, April 18, 2024 at 11:59pm PDT.

    The contenders for this year’s coveted Agency of the Year are companies with the highest number of Webby Award nominations across all categories. Leading the nominees are BASIC/DEPT® (15), Jung von Matt AG (13), DEPT® (12), and TBWA Media Arts Lab (10).

    “This year, we have seen a transformation in how brands are using technology to build and communicate with their audiences,” said Claire Graves, president of The Webby Awards. “We’re witnessing a shift from experimenting with AI technology to meaningful use cases to improve production, and personalize experiences. Additionally there has been an expansion of creativity in B2B marketing, and a deeper commitment by brands and creators to human-centric storytelling. It is an honor to continue celebrating the teams behind the innovative work that continues to change culture and our digital landscape.”

    As Artificial Intelligence continues to alter how we connect with those around us, consume entertainment, and learn about the world, brands and agencies are utilizing these new technologies with innovative projects like Fenty Beauty + Skin Experience (Sawhorse Productions), Gucci Cosmos Land in the Sandbox (Gucci), Whitney Museum of American Art–Inaugural Immersive Art Experience (Design Bridge and Partners) and NASA’s Immersive Earth (NASA).

    Brands continued to capitalize on the world’s biggest names to drive creative partnerships, tapping into larger audiences and cementing themselves in the cultural conversation.

Pictures), and WeTransfer and Jungle’s Collaboration on the “Back On 74” Music Video (WeTransfer).

    With nearly 13,000 entries from over 70 countries around the world and a record number of Social Media submissions, this year’s competition was extremely competitive. From the tens of thousands of global entries submitted, fewer than 12% were selected as nominees. 

    Winners for The 28th Annual Webby Awards will be announced on Tuesday, April 23, and will be celebrated at a star-studded in-person award show on Monday, May 13, hosted by Amber Ruffin at Cipriani Wall Street.
