--> ADWEEK has launched and is now accepting entries for the 2026 Creator Economy Power List, honoring the executives building the business behind the creator boom.
While the creators themselves normally get the spotlight, this honor is reserved for the dealmakers, platform builders, brand leaders, and technologists turning the creator business into a durable economy.
Entrants must work at a company operating in the creator economy. Individual creators, influencers, and on-camera talent are not eligible unless they are entering for a business role, such as founder or executive of a company. Creators are encouraged to enter ADWEEK Brand Genius Creators.
Entrants may nominate themselves or a colleague.
ADWEEK judges will favor entries that show hard results from the past 12 months, not just vision. Entries with verifiable metrics, named campaigns, and clear timelines will stand out.
Early Bird Deadline (until November 6) – $175
Final Deadline (until December 7) – $275
The final deadline to submit is Monday, December 7, 2026 at 11:59pm PST .
