The Clio's mean everything to my team, we always say it’s like the Oscars for our community. When there is a Clio win, the whole company is overjoyed and the celebrations last all week. Clients are overjoyed, company morale skyrockets and together we all feel a sense of pride for being able to make an impact within our industry and community. There is no greater honor than winning a Clio.

The Clio Awards has always been about recognizing the very essence of our craft. It is so rewarding for team members to be recognized for the countless hours spent refining every pixel of design. Clios represents community, a family of creatives striving to elevate the state of marketing design.

Nothing gave me more hope for this industry than judging the Clio Entertainment category back in 2022. I had the opportunity to see such amazing work created (that I somehow missed) and was able to discuss with the other judges about the type of work we want to encourage. This led me to believe that more art is making its way to advertising and it’s an exciting time to be part of this industry.

It's important to put the periscope up and see what the industry is doing. To see who is really pushing the bar forwards and upwards for the creative.

We believe in the work that we’re doing but there’s no greater validation of it than getting publicly recognized by your peers.
