LA’s vibrant advertising, marketing, and media community came together to showcase the best creative talent, industry innovation, and the power of our community at the 15th Annual ThinkLA IDEA Awards, and what a night!
From the moment the doors opened at the iconic Beverly Hilton hotel, guests were dazzled with collages showcasing 15 years of awards history; a red carpet alive with cameras capturing LA's brightest advertising and marketing stars, and an indoor/outdoor cocktail party to mingle and connect.
After cocktails, the International Ballroom opened with videos of past IDEA Awards celebrations onscreen, a crystal-curtained stage, and a lively jazz trio entertained as everyone enjoyed a three-course dinner complete with perfectly paired hosted wine.
The awards show began with an electric performance by a sparkling troupe of tap dancers who brought the house down and set the tone for an unforgettable celebration. As we announced this year’s most inspiring work and the brilliant minds and companies behind it, cheers, standing ovations, and heartfelt speeches reminded everyone of our amazing support, energy, and spirit. We also honored former Executive Director Susan Francescini with a Lifetime Service Award, recognizing her decades of dedication, leadership, and immeasurable contributions to the ThinkLA community.
The celebration continued with an epic after-party, where the DJ kept the crowd energized late into the night.
A heartfelt thank you to our many sponsors, partners, volunteers, and every single attendee who helped make the 15th IDEA Awards so special. We applaud your support and passion!
