Adweek is a weekly American advertising trade publication that was first published in 1979.[1] Adweek covers marketing, creativity, client–agency relationships and the media, technology and platforms which support the global marketing ecosystem. During this time, it has covered various shifts in technology, including cable television, the shift away from commission-based agency fees, and the Internet.

As the second-largest advertising-trade publication,[2] its main competitor is Advertising Age.[3] Adweek also operates the Adweek Blog Network, which was formed from the assets of Mediabistro.

Related publications include Brandweek, Adweek Magazine's Technology Marketing (ISSN 1536-2272), and Marketing Week (ISSN 0892-8274).[4]

In 2018, the company produced the first Brandweek,[5] event, a first-of-its-kind summit held September 23–25, 2018 in Palm Springs, Calif. Subsequent summits have been held in Miami. Brandweek was also previously a weekly American marketing trade publication that was published between 1986 and April 2011.[6]
