Out Now: The 2026 Webby Industry Index
Meet the companies and creators behind the Internet’s most celebrated work. See who tops the rankings.
Behind the campaigns you remember, the podcasts you recommend and the digital experiences you love are teams worth knowing. The 2026 Webby Industry Index puts them in the spotlight.
We crunched the numbers to reveal the top performers across Agencies, Brands, PR, Networks, Media, Production, Podcasts, Creators, and AI, ranked by their Webby and People’s Voice wins, Nominations and Honors.
Here’s what their work revealed:
- Every industry is now in the creator business: Creator-led work makes up roughly one in ten recognised entries across industries and formats.
- AI has moved from novelty category to craft layer: Top Agencies are winning with AI, while AI brands are winning in Advertising.
- Fandom is the new campaign brief: Winning campaigns tapped into fan communities, from Minecraft to Lady Gaga and Bad Bunny.
Explore the rankings to discover who made the list, what earned them a place and where to look for your next dose of creative inspiration.
