ADVERTISING'S TOP 500 UNDER 500

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.

PHILLIP MA
Manager of Advertising, JetBlue Airways

We only fly Jetblue. Partially because of points and their animals crackers, but mostly because of Phillip.

REI INAMOTO
Chief Creative Officer, AKQA

Has mastered his craft and that “I’m posing for an advertising photo” face.

DAVE YANKELEWITZ
Group Creative Director, Ogilvy & Mather

We imagine 420 is a pretty coveted number among creatives. Congrats Dave.

CRAIG OPFER
Owner/Creative Director, Magneto Brand Advertising

Magneto could move metal with his mind, this guy moves us with his passion.

SUZANNE KEEN
Senior Creative, Translation LLC

Her creative senses are as keen as her, well... you get it.

RYAN MARTINDALE
Writer/Creative Director, Freelance

Why’s he smirking? Because now that he’s on this list his day rate is about to skyrocket.

MICHAEL DHALLIWAL
Brand Creative/Copywriter, The Richards Group

Not only can this guy write. He can read.

ED MCGOWAN
Editor, The Now Corporation

Has turned down several modeling contracts.

ELIZABETH DILLON
Account Executive, BOLD Worldwide

Can’t wait to see the amazing work she does by the time she’s 500 for the Jupiter tourism board.

MIKE SHELDON
North American Chief Executive Officer, Deutsch

The only thing broader than his shoulders is his understanding of his clients needs.

MARTHA DIXON
Associate Creative Director, HUGE

Her career is hotter than that fire pit behind her. Even if the fire pit was on.

MICK DIMARIA
Group Creative Director, 72andSunny

He’s got greenery behind him, and unbelievable of success ahead of him.

NEIL CHRISTIE
Managing Director, Wieden + Kennedy London

Looks like he has a firm handshake, but not so overly firm that you feel like he’s trying to emasculate you.

MIKEY HARMON
Junior Art Director, McCann

Made the list at 22. Just imagine what he’ll do with the next 478 years.

RICK CUSATO
Partner, Grey Group New York

You can’t spell Cusato without “USA.” Which makes sense, because he’s a national treasure.

SIMEON ADAMS
Partner, Goodstuff Communications

Despite having a birthday every single year since he’s been born, one of them’s never been 500.

CHRISTOPHER PHILLIPS
Senior Copywriter, Deutsch

Somehow he never goes over his cell phone data plan.

PATRICK HARRINGTON
Group Creative Director, Havit Advertising

Havit is located in Virginia, but Patrick’s the one really putting them on the map.

CINDY CHANG
Digital Content Manager, Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal + Partners

Content is king and Cindy is queen.

PATRICIA DUNIGAN
Vice President Integrated Advertising, Papa John's International

The photo may be slightly blurry, but her passion for integrated advertising is clear.

JOHN FERGUSON
Associate Design Director, HUGE

The name of the place he works at is also a good adjective for his talent. And Chris Christie.

BILL DAVARIS
Senior Partner/Executive Creative Director, Ogilvy New York

The word “avarice” means extreme greed for wealth or material gain. Davaris means major wealth or material gain for his clients.

LARRY BEVINS
Principal/Creative Director, Brand360

The outfit he’s wearing makes sense, because he’s racing past his peers.

DAVE LOCKWOOD
EVP, Group Strategy Director, Campbell Ewald

He’s wearing glasses but his vision for his agency couldn’t be better.

MARQUES GARTRELL
Associate Creative Director, BBDO

He puts the “art” in Gartrell.
