Criteria and methodology

This is the second year Business Insider is recognizing rising talent in ad agencies across departments. (To see last year's list, head here.)

The people on this year's list are under age 36 and represent a variety of roles and backgrounds, including media and creative, but also strategy, account management, talent, neuroscience, and inclusive design. They come from traditional ad agencies as well as consulting companies like Deloitte Digital and Hollywood talent agencies like UTA that are increasingly competing with them.

The list is based on agency and peer nominations, their awards and campaigns, their influence on their companies, and their potential to be industry leaders. We also gave preference to people who haven't appeared on this list before.
