Adweek (aka Ad Week or Adweek - Eastern Edition) is a weekly American advertising trade publication that was first published in 1978.[1] Adweek covers creativity, client/agency relationships, global advertising, accounts in review, and new campaigns. During this time, it has covered several notable shifts, including cable television, the shift away from commission-based agency fees, and the Internet.
Adweek publishes a blog, Adfreak, which covers the intersection of advertising and pop culture. Adweek is currently owned by Prometheus Global Media.
As the second-largest advertising-trade publication,[2] its main competitor is Advertising Age.[3]

[edit] History
In 1990, Affiliated Publications Inc., the parent of the company that publishes The Boston Globe, agreed to acquire 80 percent of the outstanding common stock of A/S/M Communications Inc., which published Adweek.[4] The magazine stabilized in the 1990s[5]
In April 2008, Adweek's editor of ten years, Alison Fahey, was promoted to publisher/editorial director. She was replaced as editor by Mike Chapman,[6] formerly of the Economist Intelligence Unit and eMarketer.[7]
