TORI MISELL
Senior Account Executive, Mullen
Misell is a missile around the office, but only metaphorically because she hasn’t killed anybody. Except with kindness.
PATRICK COFFEE
Writer/Editor, AgencySpy
We can’t make it past 11 AM without Coffee.
ANDREAS DAHLQVIST
Chief Creative Officer, Grey New York
They say Men are from Mars and women are from Venus, but we’re pretty sure this guy’s from Sweden.
ALFRED ERICKSON
Co-Founder, McCann Erickson
Got his name on the door by discovering a compromising pic of H.K. Mccann and subsequently blackmailing him with it.
SCOTT MCCOLLUM
Senior Copywriter, Leo Burnett
Don’t let his smile fool you, this guy is an advertising killer. If you look in the trunk of his Cadillac you’ll find a bunch of murdered briefs next to a shovel and ductape. And several Gatorades because hey, you never know.
ANDREW SIEGEL
Copywriter, McCann
This is one Siegel that would never poop on your head at the beach.
JOSH CHUA
Copywriter, Anomaly
Co-invented the bacon alarm clock, so now, nobody in the industry is sleeping on him. Metaphorically, at least.
NATE COONROD
Design Director, Entrèe Creative
A great designer and way better skateboarder than J. Walter Thompson ever was.
REECE HOVERKAMP
Freelance Art Director, 72andSunny
We hope these rankings don’t singlehandedly tear the Hoverkamp family apart.
COLEMAN DAVIS
Art Director, McCann
Women of America, his number is 646-246-4250.
DEREK MCCOY
Freelance Art Director, Jackson Dawson
A brilliant art director, musician, and photographer. There is only one art Derek has yet to master, the art of the out-of-office reply.
LESLIE SIMS
Chief Creative Officer, Y&R
An industry legend and phenomenal leader, who despite our repeated requests, hasn’t made her agency pirate themed and change the name to “Y & Arrrrrrr”
JERRY HOAK
Group Creative Director, Droga5
When people shout “JERRRRY, JERRRRY, JERRRRY” at him – they’re cheering his great work, not the prospect of an upcoming paternity test on live television.
CAITLIN D. HARRIS
Senior Copywriter, McCann
She’s so talented, we have an “Orange Theory” she’s destined for greatness.
STEPHANIE WAGLEY
Recruiter, HUGE
She excels in the high-stakes game of recruiting, even though this photo looks like it was taken during a very low stakes game of hide & go seek.
CHRIS GILBERT
Copywriter, Mullen
Chris is the Sandy Koufax of advertising. He throws down scripts like Koufax threw no hitters. Except Chris has written more scripts than Koufax has thrown no hitters. Because he only threw like 4.
TIM NUDD
Writer/Editor, Adweek
He does a great job running AdFreak, but imagine if he got his hands on that aforementioned photo of H.K Mccann. Website traffic would skyrocket.
COLLEEN DeCOURCY & SUSAN HOFFMAN
Global Co-Executive Creative Directors, Wieden + Kennedy
These women have accomplished incredible things, made breakthrough work and inspired others. But now, they can finally check the big one off their list, beating out McCollum.
MARY WELLS LAWRENCE
Advertising Executive
Named one of the top ten newsmakers of the 1960s by Ad Age, the 1971 Advertising Woman of the Year, and the youngest member inducted into the Copywriters Hall of Fame–but we’re sure those honors don't compare to this.
ANDREW CIACCIO
Copywriter, Freelance
When creating solutions to brand challenges, Andrew takes a very "hands on" approach. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, those hands smell like cinnamon.
SABRINA HOVERKAMP
Producer/World Traveler, Freelance
GIVE THIS WOMAN ANY JOB SHE WANTS.
JAY CHIAT
Co-Founder, Chiat\Day
His last name was originally “Z,” but he changed it to avoid any potential confusion.
GEICO GECKO
Lizard
An industry staple who at long last, is over his drug problem.
JOHN BOILER
Co-Founder, 72andSunny
Man, 500 is a lot of numbers. Super glad we didn’t do 1,000 under 1,000.
DUANE CARDINEZ
Art Director, Pitch
Duane is a great designer and stylish dresser. Just like the 6-drawer Malm from Ikea, available for just $59.99.
