Over the years, social media has evolved beyond basic communication to become an all-encompassing necessity for creativity and progress. As creators look to carve out a differentiated space for themselves and their community of supporters, they often bring about the very disruption that seasoned industry professionals strive for.
Adweek’s third annual Creator Visionary Awards spotlight the innovators and influencers who have not only entertained us, but also wholly shifted our approach to marketing, media and connection. This year’s winners, selected by a jury of Adweek experts, continue the mission of Social Media Week, established in 2009 to foster an elevated conversation around the impact of social media on advertising, media and culture.
