RYAN TEDDER RECEIVES HONORARY CLIO

Ryan Tedder can clear off some room on his trophy shelf for another statuette—an honorary Clio Award, which he’ll accept 1/30 at the organization’s annual ceremony.

The encomium from Clio, which rewards "innovation and creative excellence in advertising, design and communication, as judged by an international panel of advertising professionals," reflects the stamp Tedder has put on brand campaigns for household names like Sprite, Hertz and Samsung.

The frontman for Interscope chart staple OneRepublic will also be celebrated for his work with the band and as a solo artist, which, combined, has earned him over 500m in worldwide sales and 6b Spotify streams.

Michael Kauffman, executive director of Clio Music, said, “We’re thrilled to honor the unparalleled contributions of Ryan Tedder. It’s the perfect moment to recognize the groundbreaking creativity and cultural impact that drives our industry forward.”
