Seeking nominations for the most innovative marketing executives in the world

We're seeking nominations for Business Insider's second-annual list of the most innovative CMOs in the world. We want to hear from you.

Please submit your ideas via this anonymous survey.

These executives are visionaries, and they are changemakers. They are marketers cooking up new ways to creatively reach consumers, and marketers that have mastered how to incorporate data to drive business results.

These are people that are facing the challenges of modern marketing head-on, and innovating around the various steps along the way on a daily basis.

They don't necessarily have to hold the CMO title, but they should be senior marketing executives who are uniquely positioned to lead change at a brand or in the industry.

Criteria and methodology

Some of the factors we want to weigh include the breadth of the marketing executive's role and responsibilities, the size of the brand, the effect the leader has had on the marketing and advertising industry at large and how his or her marketing efforts have impacted company performance.

We are relying on our reporting, and we are also bringing together an advisory council of independent experts to submit nominations and review our ranking. These individuals bring years of experience in the industry to the task.

Check out last year's ranking here.

Again, please submit your nominations here. The entries are anonymous unless you choose to include your contact information. Please include as much detail as to why each individual deserves to be recognized.
