“Ad Age’s 40 Under 40 recognizes some of the smartest and most groundbreaking talent in marketing today,” said Judann Pollack, Deputy Editor of Advertising Age. “The selection this year was particularly hard-fought with many excellent contenders and the final list is a global who’s who of the brightest minds in agencies, marketing and media companies, talent agents, social media and more. This year’s class includes executives who are making a mark in politics, data science, advertising and marketing at companies from AB InBev to Walt Disney Co. One of our 40 Under 40 is even helping street vendors around the world monetize their wares. While their achievements are varied and their experiences diverse, all our 40 Under 40 have one thing in common: they are smart young innovators who will be driving business for years to come.”
