A Decade of Hollywood In Pixels

Founded in 2015 by entertainment digital marketing veteran Bettina Sherick, Hollywood In Pixels began with a mission to preserve and celebrate the artistry and innovation of Hollywood’s digital campaigns before they disappeared into history. Over the past decade, HIP has honored dozens of creative leaders and preserved hundreds of campaigns that defined the evolution of digital storytelling in film.

“Reaching our 10-year anniversary is profoundly meaningful. Hollywood In Pixels began as a passion project to protect the work that transformed film marketing, and it has grown into a community-driven celebration of creativity, strategy, and technological innovation. Every campaign tells a story, not just of the movie it promotes, but of the talented teams who push boundaries and find new ways to connect with audiences. This year, we’re not just celebrating three incredible executives — we’re honoring a decade of innovation, collaboration, and the people who make it possible.“
