Nominate Emerging Leaders in Brand Marketing for Business Insider's 2026 List

Business Insider is on the hunt for nominations for its upcoming feature, celebrating the next wave of innovative brand marketers.

Submit your entries before the December 23, 2026 deadline to have your nominee considered for this prestigious list.

This initiative aims to showcase talented marketers from both consumer and B2B sectors who have shown exceptional potential to rise as future leaders.

These individuals are at the forefront of their companies, advancing marketing efforts by embracing new technologies like artificial intelligence and data analytics, and leveraging influencer and partnership strategies.

We encourage submissions that illustrate the candidate's influence over the past year, bolstered by case studies, data, and other evidence.

While the general career achievements of nominees are appreciated, a particular focus should be on their contributions over the last twelve months.

Our editorial team at Business Insider will evaluate the entries we receive, alongside our thorough investigative process, and might reach out for more details if necessary.

Only entries from brand-employed marketers will be considered – those working with agencies, adtech, or third-party marketing entities will be excluded.
