The Campaign US 40 Over 40 Awards honors the executives who work tirelessly to make the wheels turn at their companies. These leaders have established their careers by making  noteworthy contributions across advertising, marketing, media, technology and communications – from groundbreaking creative work and head-turning innovations for clients, to paving the way for the next generation of talent to thrive.

To be eligible, a nominee must work in advertising, media, communications, marketing or design, be based in North America, and have turned 40 on or before March 18th, 2026.
