The newly launched Global Webby Credits Registry means podcasting professionals can now receive verified recognition for their contributions to Webby-recognised projects.
The platform, launched by The Webby Awards, allows creators, producers, writers, and other collaborators to claim profiles that document their work on Webby-winning, nominated, or honoured projects from the past 30 years.
This initiative arrives as professional reputation increasingly depends on verifiable
Early supporters of the launch include Shonda Rhimes, Adam Scott, and Pooja Tripathi of Brooklyn Coffee Shop, along with organisations such as PBS, iHeartMedia, and R/GA, whose teams have contributed to significant Webby legacies.

Jesse Feister, Executive Director at The Webby Group, said: “The people behind great creative work on the internet have never been harder to find, and they’ve never mattered more.”
Profiles are issued directly by The Webby Awards and link an individual’s name to their verified contributions, making it easier for their work to be found in professional searches.
To claim a profile, eligible individuals search the Webby Credits database, select their credits, verify their identity through LinkedIn, and publish their profile. The service is free and hosted on webbyawards.com.
The database currently includes more than 150,000 eligible
The database currently includes more than 150,000 eligible individuals across 24,000 organisations, covering 30 seasons of Webby Awards history from 1996 to 2026. Thousands more are expected to become eligible each year as new work is recognised.
Amy Wigler, Vice President, Multiplatform Marketing and Content at PBS, commented: “The Webby Credits Registry gives those individuals recognition that stays with them throughout their careers. We’re excited to help celebrate their contributions and make their work more visible.”
As the community expands, the Registry will continue to document the people shaping the digital landscape, including those working on podcasts and other audio projects.
Eligible professionals can claim their profiles from today, 10 November, by visiting winners.webbyawards.com/credits to get started.
