ADWEEK’s Brand Genius award recognizes 10 of the most dynamic and innovative brand thinkers working today. In a business environment as competitive as it is unpredictable, brands succeed only with the guidance of true achievers who are brave enough to take chances, willing to break with convention and able to read opportunities in the market. Our Brand Geniuses hail from a range of key roles—a founder or chief executive, a marketer or an agency creative. They’ve also been public figures who’ve transformed their social equity into viable business enterprises. Whatever their titles, they’ve all demonstrated ingenuity, foresight and real results: a significant, quantifiable impact on the bottom line or in the consumer culture overall.

Plus, what's an awards gala without an after-party? Join us to keep the celebration going during the Brand Genius After Party, featuring special musical guest(s).
