The Startup Weekly is proud to present its 2021 Marketing & Advertising Companies to Watch. As a new award category for the Startup Weekly we didn’t quite know what to expect, but we were blown away at the quality of the applicants. As always, awardees were selected from a pool of both (i) applications received and (ii) companies shortlisted by The Startup Weekly editorial board. Each awardee was evaluated by a panel of judges comprised of investors, entrepreneurs, executives, and other thought leaders. Inclusion in the final awards list was based on several factors, including 2020 business achievements, demonstrated business resiliency, contributions to thought leadership, product and/or service strength, and contributions to the business community at large. From cutting-edge video production agency Bottle Rocket Media to the high-growth AdTech rocketship Freestar, the 2021 Marketing & Advertising Companies to Watch represent the industry’s best. Congratulations to the winners! We are excited to see what you achieve in 2021 and beyond.
