In honour of its 50th anniversary, the three-day Clio festival has been featuring decade-themed award shows. The Emerging Media Awards celebrated the 1990s and 2000s with a video montage highlighting the emergence of the Internet and the impact it has had on the most powerful form of communication - advertising.

The show also featured a dance performance by Internet sensation Judson Laipply (whose “Evolution of Dance” video on YouTube has been viewed by 116 million people) and the presentation of an Honorary Clio Award to Mark Cuban, chairman and co-founder of HDNet, investor, Internet entrepreneur, and owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. Cuban was recognised as a digital media thought leader who helped pave the way for the industry by launching and investing in many successful online ventures and cutting-edge technologies.

Additionally, Dan Wieden, co-founder and CEO of Wieden+Kennedy (W+K), was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award during a luncheon at AGO, the legendary Vegas eatery owned by Hollywood icon Robert De Niro and restaurateur Agostino Sciandri. The Clio Lifetime Achievement Award, one of the highest, most prestigious honours in the industry, recognises the outstanding and ongoing contribution of an individual who leads the industry forward.
