There are just three weeks left to get your entries in for this year's AdNews' coveted Emerging Leaders list.
The full list of the chosen 20 will be published in our September print edition and online.
Returning for a second year, the initiative will showcase the future leaders of the advertising, media and adtech industries.
All 20 chosen for the final list will go into the running for the Emerging Leader award at next year's AdNews Agency of the Year Awards.
If you think you have the talent, knowledge and leadership skills to stand out from the crowd and are a cut above the rest, you need to make this sought-after list.
The submission for the nominee must come from someone more senior to them in their company. The nominee must have at least seven years' experience in the industry.
The final list, released in the September print edition of AdNews, will showcase the best of the best that truly represent the next generation leaders.
It will be selected by a panel of those working in HR, people and culture.
Last year's winner was Michaela Futcher at the Royals.
Last year the the talent pitched to us through this process was phenomenal, with three of the list also appearing on stage at AdNews’ Lessons in Leadership event (below).
Initiative communications design director John Dawson, Initiative head of brand experience Olivia Warren and Match & Wood communications director Michael Wretham shared their recommendations for CEOs looking to attract great young talent.
