The internet has evolved as a space where true innovation and ingenuity are fostered. It has grown from glitchy websites on prehistoric desktop computers to pseudo-physical spaces people can step into with headsets. With so many great minds making incredible projects online, The Webby Awards went on a journey to discover who the best of the best are.

To that end, they’ve put together the 4th Annual Webby Industry Index to rank the companies with the year’s best digital work. These are the companies who snagged the most Webby Award and People’s Voice Award wins, nominations, and honors during the 26th Annual Webby Awards for their true brilliance across all categories. Read the full series for an analysis of the best creators across seven industries in the  Agency Index, Podcast Index, Games Index, Global Brands Index, Production Index, Media Index, and Technology Index.

Here are a few key takeaways:

• Media.Monks B.V. was named the 2022 Webby Production Company of the Year. They saw huge success from their projects, a notable one being Netflix: The Witcher - Welcome to the Continent.


• R/GA was the star agency for its unique interpretation of Super Bowl commercials through the Reddit - Superb Bowl campaign and for their unreal Doritos - Duet Roulette social media challenge.


• Two indie game developers, Humble Games and Witch Beam sat on the top spot in their Gaming Index for their joint project, Unpacking . This game won hearts, Webbys, and People's Voices for its touching Tetris-esque zen puzzle gameplay.


• This year’s podcast entries were the best in the game, from HBO’s Succession Podcast, iHeartRadio’s Lolita, ABC News’ The Dropout, and Stitcher’s Toxic: The Britney Spears Story.

Take your time exploring and making your way through the game studios, agencies, podcasts, media, tech, and production companies, as well as global brands spotlighted in the index as they represent the true talent of the internet.
