For nearly four decades, ADWEEK has honored the luminaries and leaders of brand building with its flagship Brand Genius award.
The 2025 Brand Genius Awards are officially open for entry. We invite the marketers, brand builders, celebrity entertainers, media professionals, and internet stars pushing the boundaries of what it means to build a brand to enter for a chance to be recognized on this prestigious list.
ADWEEK’s Brand Genius Awards recognize the most dynamic and innovative brand thinkers of today, and is not strictly limited to those in the advertising industry.
A Brand Genius is someone who has taken great strides with their own brand or the company they work for, instilling it firmly in the minds of their audience and consumers everywhere.
Last year’s Brand Genius honorees ranged from celebrities like Keke Palmer and Michael Phelps, to CMOs like Mattel’s Lisa McKnight and Hilton’s Mark Weinstein, to media leaders like Reddit’s Alexis Ohanian.
This year’s Brand Genius nominations are being accepted through the form below by June 24. The 2025 class of Brand Genius honorees will be revealed in ADWEEK’s October issue.
