Adweek honors the individuals who represent the best, brightest and most strategic thinking across the media business with the Media All-Stars awards. Each year, the most innovative media and brand marketing professionals are given the title of Media All-Stars. They are the individuals who have forged new pathways in the media and brand marketing ecosystems. And, as these ecosystems continue to be transformed by digital technology, future Media All-Stars must also become adept at leveraging insights to drive results for their clients. Adweek's Media All-Stars category further discusses the approaches that resulted in many of the winners’ successes.
