The 47th Annual ACE Awards​

Creativity is never Final

Final edits. Final files. Final feedback. Final versions. Final straws.

To be in advertising is to accept that final isn’t about endings, it’s about hope (repeats later) possibility. The hope that feedback will be “light,” and that there aren’t any “quick” changes at 11:59 PM. Final will always have the potential to be a draft in disguise, but it will also have the potential to be another draft your best work yet.

Introducing ACE_Awards_Final_V47

April_25_2026
This year’s theme is an ode to the beautifully obsessive process — the comments, the versions, the doubts, the devil’s advocates who joined the thread late with one small thought that push the work further and nudge it towards greatness.

See you there.

Awards gala tickets will be on sale on March 9, 2026. Stay tuned.
