There has never been more ways to incorporate technology into a campaign, from data analytics to generative AI. But the honorees of ADWEEK’s inaugural Creative Tech Awards took the use of these advanced tools a step further, embedding technology at the heart of their creative campaigns.

These brands, agencies and tech firms found new ways to incorporate emerging or established forms of tech into their marketing plan, creating distinctive use cases while helping to meet their objectives.

Our panel of judges—made up of ADWEEK’s editorial team and creative technology experts—used an Innovation Scorecard with five criteria: saleability, credibility, originality, practicality and expandability (SCOPE). Because good creative is nothing if it’s not scalable, any great product solves a problem, and a campaign must live beyond its runtime to have an impact on the industry.
