Update: The nomination survey is now open unitl Thursday 6 July.
AdNews is once again looking for the most powerful people in the media, marketing and advertising industry. The people who hold it all together. The AdNews Power List 2017 is open for nominations until 4 July. Nominate in the survey below.
The Power List will be published in the September issue of AdNews in print.
Who will make the cut this year? It’s a definitive - and divisive - list of powerful people in Australian media.
It’s open to anyone who operates or has an influence over the Australian in media, advertising and marketing industry. It takes into account media owners, agency bosses, content creators, on-air talent, and more.
Nominate yourself, or someone else today.
It could be agency bosses controlling budgets of Australia's biggest brands, or shaping the brand strategies that influence Australian culture. The rising force of technology and ad tech means it’s likely to feature more ad tech or data professionals changing the shape of the industry.
Many factors will influence the final list; budgets, personal and professional networks, the power to shape and influence brands, budgets and consumers. So who fits the bill?
We're taking nominations until 4 July. Tell us who you think holds power - and why.
Last year saw Communications Minister Mitch Fifield top the list due to his ability to influence media reform. That has truly come to bare in the last month, as we’ve seen the Minister rally competitive media owners to show an unprecedented united front in support of proposed media reforms. It’s yet to be seen whether it will pass through the Senate and become a reality, but Fifield has made progress like no Communications Minister before him.
Speaking at a Canberra event earlier this month, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull described Fifield as an “extraordinary” Minister.
Nominate now. Tell us who you think holds power - and why.
