100 INFLUENTIAL MARKETING LEADERS

The Internationalist announces its annual list of 100 Marketing Leaders from around the world to acknowledge those executives who are influencing today's marketing concepts. These individuals are literally reinventing marketing as the industry looks to deliver relevance and responsibility to its brand values in a global business world increasingly defined by social media, mobility, analytics, "big data" and the need for worldwide growth.

Many on the list represent the world's largest multinational brands; others are inspiring people in their home markets. Most are disruptors, problem solvers, or risk-takers who demonstrate why status-quo just won't work anymore. All share a devotion to excellence as they further marketing standards, provide inspiration, and set the tone for an industry.

The focus of The Internationalist is to connect the people and ideas in international marketing through intelligence, community and influence. Since 2003, The Internationalist has honored industry pioneers who further the role of multinational marketing as Internationalists of the Year, Innovators, Trendsetters, The Latin American 50, The Next 50, The Europe 50, The Asia 50, The China 50, and The Brazil 50 , or as winners in The Internationalist awards for Media Innovation, Digital Solutions or the Marketing Makes a World of Difference project.

Bringing together these individuals has created the foundation of a peer-to-peer initiative called THE INTERNATIONALIST 1000, celebrating the influence of the top 1% of the world's marketers. THE INTERNATIONALIST 1000 initiative-- 1000 Marketers around the World Reshaping the Future of Marketing- in partnership with the ANA/Association of National Advertisers is a group of dedicated industry leaders who are reshaping our understanding of marketing's expanding role throughout the world.
