ADWEEK 50 Nominations Open for 2027: Spotlight on Industry Leaders

ADWEEK is now accepting nominations for the 2027 ADWEEK 50, an annual recognition program that highlights influential executives working behind the scenes in advertising, marketing, media, and technology. This initiative aims to celebrate individuals whose strategic decisions and innovative efforts have significantly contributed to their organizations' growth and industry advancement.

The selection process focuses on nominees who have demonstrated measurable business impact, shown leadership in elevating their teams, and played a pivotal role in shaping both their company's trajectory and broader industry trends. These leaders are recognized not just for their individual achievements but also for their ability to drive collective success through forward-thinking approaches and operational excellence.

Interested parties can submit nominations through two available deadlines. The early bird submission period runs until December 4, 2026, with a fee of $195. For those requiring additional time, the final submission deadline is January 8, 2027, with a corresponding fee of $295. All submissions must be completed by the final deadline to be considered for the 2027 cohort.

Selected honorees will be featured in the April 2027 issue of ADWEEK, providing them with significant industry visibility and recognition. This platform serves as both an acknowledgment of past contributions and a spotlight on leaders expected to continue driving innovation and growth in the coming year. Those interested in reviewing previous recipients can access last year's ADWEEK 50 list for reference and inspiration.
