The @TheWebbyAwards are often called the Grammys of the Internet. After a decade of judging, it's still something I look forward to and one of my favorite ways to stay close to what is next in marketing, advertising and digital culture.
Added bonus: judging alongside some of the best marketers, creatives, platform builders and storytellers in the industry, including leaders from Coca-Cola, R/GA, Meta, TikTok, OpenAI, YouTube, PBS and more. I love the energy, perspective and inspiration this smart, creative group brings.
This year’s winners and honorees showed the range of what wins online now, from @claudeai being named Webby Person of the Year to “Good Hang with Amy Poehler,” which felt especially fun for those of us who grew up watching her on SNL and love her current podcast.
Technology keeps changing the way we reach audiences, but some things never go out of style: personalization, nostalgia, storytelling and real human connection.
Congratulations to all of this year’s winners!
