The A-List Hollywood Awards for Moving Image Advertising, Interactive and Branded Entertainment was the first creative advertising competition to focus on the intersection between advertising and entertainment across all platforms.

Being a Hollywood native, it knows the power of a celebrity endorsement.

“There are way too many award shows and way too many without a clear purpose. The A-List Hollywood is the rare exception. It rewards the brands and agencies that are behaving in the most creative and engaging ways. Now that’s refreshing.” [Joe Alexander, chief creative officer, The Martin Agency]

“The best brands understand their role is not just to sell, but to entertain and engage. The more we can do to encourage a wider understanding of this the better it will be for the entire industry. So, I’m thrilled to be able to help select the best demonstrations of this understanding at the A-List Hollywood Awards.” [Matt Eastwood, worldwide chief creative officer, JWT]

“All brands today face the daunting challenge of being seen, heard and loved. Daunting because everyone is raising the bar creatively, and it’s not just those employed to do so, anyone with a phone has the ability to intrigue, entertain and inform. We’re awash with content and how a brand can be ‘sticky’ and find relevance in this world requires some extraordinary insights and creativity. That’s why I’m looking forward to the A-List Hollywood Awards.” [Warren Brown, creative founder, BMF]

“The A-List Awards makes advertising and the people that create it work very hard to earn these awards – the  criteria, categories and requirements make this show unique and I’m looking forward to being inspired and humbled by collisions of advertising, entertainment and “holy sh*t!” ideas.” [Tom Eslinger, worldwide digital creative director, Saatchi & Saatchi]

“Quite simply brands today have to be entertaining. Consumers want them and expect them to be unexpected, surprising, inspirational or funny. And the competition is fierce: they’re in social feeds and up against your friends, Upworthy and Mashable. I’m looking forward to seeing which brands make content that you can’t resist.” [Rob Feakins | chief creative officer/president, Publicis Kaplan Thaler]

“Our industry has always been about telling great stories. With all what‘s going on today, we shouldn’t be scared. We can now make use of all the new fantastic opportunities to tell our best stories in a deeper, more compelling or more engaging way. Could there be a better place to celebrate great storytelling than the hometown of entertainment?“  [Eric Schoeffler, chief creative officer, DDB Group Germany]

“I’m jealous about all advertising that people seem to actually choose to watch, use or in other ways engage with. I’m also very inspired by it, and I’m looking forward to help The A-List, award brands and agencies that have succeed in doing this.” [Andreas Ullenius, executive creative director / senior partner, Akestam Holst Stockholm]

“The A-List celebrates advertising’s highest call: to create stories across platforms that are measured not just against other advertising, but against all forms of entertainment. And to become a part of culture in order to have a deep and lasting effect on brands.” [Pierre Lipton, chief creative officer, 360i New York]
