LAURA DESMOND
Chief Executive Officer, Starcom MediaVest Group

She’s a leader who’s not afraid of anything. Which we’re especially impressed by, because we’re afraid of everything – even the tea cup ride at Disney World.


 
 

ROBYN MATZA
Producer, Code and Theory

She’s not over 500, even if the unleavened bread she shares a name with is.

 


 
 

MARGARET JOHNSON
Partner/Executive Creative Director, Goodby Silverstein & Partners

She was named one of the 30 most powerful women in advertising. We hope this honor will go ahead of that on her linkedin profile, but we’re not optimistic.


 
 

SVETLANNA FARINHA
Account Executive, GSW Advetising

She’s so good at her job, she never svets the small the stuff.

 


 
 

MICHAEL HOLZ
Interactive & Brand Strategy Director, Wieden + Kennedy

Unlike a growing number of strategists, he’s never worn a scarf indoors.

 


 
 

BRIAN DELAP
Creative Recruiter, Freelance

When it comes to the button situation on his shirt, if you’ve got it, flaunt it.

 


 
 

ED DAVIS
Account Director, AKQA

Looks like that sandwich has avocados, so you know he’s doing alright for himself.
 


 
 

MARC LINEVELDT
Executive Creative Director, SK+G

We’re not sure what he’s looking at, but we are sure that the entire industry is now looking at his portfolio.
 


 
 

ANDREW GOLDSTEIN
Creative Director, SapientNitro

We know why he’s smiling so much. Because after making this list, he can get any job he wants.
 


 
 

DORI LUDWIG
Advertising and Digital Marketing Manager, Pirelli Tires

Captain of the Portugese national soccer team. And if she’s not, she should be.
 


 
 

MATT MURPHY
Group Creative Director/Partner, 72andSunny

Has his best ideas while showering, which despite his important title, he still finds time to do daily.
 


 
 

MARK SIMON
Chief Creative Officer, Lowe Campbell Ewald

Even if it’s “cluck like a chicken while rubbing your belly,” we’ll do whatever Simon says.
 


 








TADASHI ISHII
President/Chief Executive Officer, Dentsu, Inc

There’s a reason you can’t spell Tadashi without “Tada”!

 


 
 

MANNY HERNANDEZ
Content Manager, TBWA\Chiat\Day

It’s probably good this extremely talented creative wasn’t born 500 years ago, they had a lot of weird diseases back then.
 


 
 

RAFAEL RIZUTO
Executive Creative Director, 180LA

This guy devours briefs like the ninja turtle he was potentially named after devoured pizza. 
 


 
 

RACHEL ARTHER
Account Manager, Victors & Spoils

She’s our favorite Arther. Even though we really liked that show about the aardvark who went to school. 
 


 
 

KAREN KALEY
SVP/Account Director, Team Detroit

We don’t know if you’ve seen the movie “Robocop” which was entirely filmed in Detroit, but she wasn’t in that.
 


 
 

HANS SCHENCK
Art Director, 360i

He’s got the whole world in his Hans. 

 


 
 

DEB RADCLIFF
SVP Marketing, West Marine

We hope at least one of you reading this is named Cliff. Because if you are, she’s rad, Cliff. 
 


 
 

JIM KOWALSKI
Associate Creative Director, Spark44

Way too good of a dancer to be 500.

 


 
 

LAUREL STARK AKMAN
Associate Creative Director/Copywriter/Strategist, Google Glass

At her agency, she wears many hats – but never a fedora.

 


 
 

REID MASIMORE
Copywriter, Razorfish

We’re currently writing his bio on a plane where there’s really bad turbulence, but looking at that face makes us feel safer.
 


 
 

GIANNA MESSINA
Senior Copywriter, TMP Worldwide Advertising

She’s going places. Like Vancouver in October. For a week. 

 


 
 

JARED ISLE
Associate Creative Director, McCann

One Jared who’s making headlines for the right reasons. 

 


 
 

FLO
Progressive Insurance

Is in a way better place in life than the Dell dude.
