The number of 鈥30 Under 30鈥 and 鈥40 Under 40 lists鈥 in the business media underscores corporate culture鈥檚 fascination with youth.
This obsession is acute in advertising and marketing, where the brief is to make brands seem appealing and desirable to, more than any other cohort, young and influential audiences. With these values at its core, the industry underappreciates traits such as wisdom, domain expertise and resilience that only come with experience and tenure.
That鈥檚 why Campaign US is proud to reveal the fifth annual 40 Over 40 list, honoring 40 senior executives who have sustained successful and enduring careers in an industry where rising stars can burn out quickly.
This year鈥檚 list, selected by a group of past 40 Over 40 honorees, features agency builders and leaders, such as Allen Bosworth, Christine Fruechte, Tyler Turnbull, Sarah Kramer, Eric Kallman and Evin Shutt, among others, who prove that it is possible to rise in an agency and build a long-term career.

Marketers on the list, including Jaclyn Ruelle, Alexis Luerssen, Janine Dugre, Neil Frauenglass, Kim Granito and Victoria Lozano, demonstrate that with an experienced leader at the helm, brands can wield their considerable platforms to shape culture in thoughtful, meaningful and positive ways.
We鈥檙e proud to acknowledge leaders such as Singleton Beato, Nadja Bellan-White and Jeffrey L. Bowman, who have continued to push for equity and to make the industry better in the face of considerable challenges.
This list of talent across sectors, industries and areas of expertise demonstrates what鈥檚 possible when we create space for seniority and hard-won experience 鈥 and shines a light on those who are pushing the industry forward and setting an example for all of those young, rising stars.
A big thanks to our jury for your hard work selecting this notable group.
Congratulations to our class of . We can鈥檛 wait to celebrate you on September 24 in New York City.
