Canada has Top 40 Under 40 lists for business. This one is for our business.
Top 40 Under 40 returns for 2027, and it’s bigger than the program we paused. It now covers advertising, communications, media buyers, marketing and public relations, agency side and brand side, under one national program.
Nominations open Monday, November 23, 2026.
Who we’re looking for
The most consequential Top 40 Under 40 leaders in the Canadian industry. That means the people already changing how the work gets done at agencies and brands in every province, whatever their title.
How it works
- Recognized by peers. Nominations from people in the industry drive the list. A jury of more than 40 senior brand and agency leaders vets the shortlist.
- Honoured on a national stage. Winners are announced in mid-March 2027 and celebrated at a reception in downtown Toronto later that month.
- Open to both sides. Agency and brand-side talent are both eligible. Nominees must be under 40 as of November 1, 2026.
Nominations close February 19, 2027.
