Welcome to the first annual 500 under 500, a list of 500 people in advertising under 500 years old. They’re storytellers, disrupters, visionaries and dreamers – but most importantly, they have yet to turn 500 – so they’re just getting started.
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.
