“If you are a creative business located anywhere in the world, we encourage you to make the most of Ad Stars’ philosophy as one of the only global awards platforms that is free to enter,” said Hwan-Jin Choi, Chair of Ad Stars. We know that COVID-19 has triggered a shock to the global economy, and although this will impact many agencies and production companies, it has never been more important to celebrate the power of creativity and promote our value as an industry.”
“We also encourage you to consider our newest categories: Pivot and Creative eCommerce. Pivot celebrates campaigns that have amplified and repositioned brands in response to COVID-19, or helped to overcome the pandemic through public health initiatives. Creative eCommerce celebrates ideas that optimize the customer journey through creative eCommerce solutions. Both categories are extremely relevant in the current landscape, and we are excited to see who is leading the way in these areas.”
