Ad Age 40 Under 40

The Ad Age 40 Under 40 list recognizes talented individuals who have, either personally or as part of a team, been responsible for helping to advance a business or a brand at an advertiser, agency, media, tech or marketing company in a demonstrable way within the last 12 months. Now, amid the changes brought on by the pandemic, these individuals are even more critical.

This list honors the best of the best: Web3 wizards, digital stars, programmatic geniuses, new-business rainmakers, data scientists and entrepreneurs as well as rising stars in more established companies. Examples might be the brand manager who turned around an ailing business or the creative director who masterminded a campaign that struck a cultural nerve.
