The 6th annual 40 Over 40 recognizes senior talent who have built lasting and meaningful careers in advertising, marketing, media, technology and communications, and
whom rising stars can look up to.
It’s an eventful time in the ad industry, but this year’s 40 Over 40 class knows a thing or two about innovating during challenging times.
From creating ad campaigns rooted in human insight to transcending brand categories to expand market share, this year’s list reflects 40 leaders who are creating new ways to reach and serve their consumers. Most importantly, we are able to celebrate emerging talent and the rising stars of tomorrow because we stand on the shoulders of these trailblazers and industry leaders who have used their come-up to make the industry a better place.
This year’s list, selected by a group of past 40 Over 40 honorees, features agency builders and leaders. Tesa Aragones is steadily rebuilding a new AKQA and elevating key players to pave the way for the agency’s next chapter. And since Damaune Journey joined 72andSunny over four years ago from the world

Marketers on the list, including Taryn Crouthers, Alyson Griffin and Karen Kovacs, have a pulse on the trends of today and tomorrow, driving the business forward in a way that’s both culturally relevant and benefits the bottom line.
