The Finalists Revealed: Bold Creative Format

The social media industry moves fast, and the bravest work breaks the template entirely. Whether it's a fresh approach to storytelling, an unexpected creative format or an idea that stops people in their tracks, the campaigns in this category prove that taking a risk can be the biggest advantage of all.

The Bold Creative Format category celebrates the brands, teams and agencies that had the creative nerve to do something different. These finalists didn't just think outside the box - they chose the right format to bring their ideas to life and demonstrated that bold creative thinking can deliver outstanding results.
