From AI to VR and commerce to ad tech, Ad Age’s debut Tech Power List reflects the most important innovations occurring in our industry. The first class of honorees hails from the biggest brands and the brightest startups in marketing on the bleeding edge of technological change.

Ad Age scoured the world of advertising to select individuals who pushed their companies and clients forward, and each has a claim to technological achievement in fields that matter in marketing.

The women recognized are redefining leadership in advertising and marketing while blazing trails and pushing boundaries for others to succeed in their wake.

This program recognizes them for their hard work and dedication to their craft across various facets of the industry, including creative, media, technology and PR.

It also acknowledges those pushing for change across their organizations as well as setting new bars for innovation, creativity and strategic excellence.

In its fifth year, the select group of advertising, marketing and media insiders launches a thought leadership series aimed at tackling the biggest industry challenges and showing how creativity can drive brands' growth

In our third annual recognition program, we shine a spotlight on the working moms who are leading teams, running campaigns and chalking up more than a few wins at home as “mom.” Join us in celebrating and recognizing the incredible work and fortitude of the women who “Market Like a Mother” all day. Every day. All year long. A special thanks to all of the amazing finalists who submitted on behalf of themselves or their colleagues.

Our first ever global Leading Women list includes women who are pioneering new technologies, driving brands forward in reaction to social and environmental concerns or tapping into popular culture to target fresh audiences.
