The Clios were founded in 1959 to celebrate creative excellence in advertising around the world. The Clio Awards legacy program sets a high bar across the globe for all creatives, inspiring the makers of today and tomorrow to pursue boundary-pushing ideas and bringing the community together at an annual world-class jury retreat and awards ceremony. As the industry expands and evolves, the Clios have developed programs across sports, music, health, entertainment, and more that adhere to the same criteria and standards, but are tailored to recognize the specific challenges and triumphs of a particular sector. 

As a champion for the power of creativity to drive commerce and culture, the Clios are a constant source of inspiration via thought leadership programming, a vast global database of ads at AdsOfTheWorld.com, and a hub for original content at MuseByClios.com.
