Drum roll, please…Direct Marketing News is thrilled to announce its 2013 40 Under 40 Award winners.
This group of young marketing luminaries has already left an indelible mark within their organizations and on the industry as a whole. They’ve launched initiatives that have helped to significantly grow their companies; wowed clients with creative or strategic plans that have made a major impact on those clients’ businesses; and influenced the industry in numerous ways—from enhancing the core elements of direct marketing, to advancing measurement, to guiding their company and clients on mastering new technologies, and much more.
Their work is helping to guide others in marketing to master such areas as integrating digital and traditional marketing, using cross-channel data to inform marketing decisions, and building loyalty at a time when customers churn at the click of a mouse. Their stories are ones of determination, creativity, and adaptability.
Direct Marketing News is hosting an awards ceremony to honor the 2013 40 Under 40 winners on Wednesday, September 25 at the Dream Downtown hotel in New York. The festivities will include a keynote by IKEA CMO Leontyne Green Sykes, who will share her leadership style and explain how it helped her reach the CMO position at IKEA while still in her 30s, as well as discuss her approach to marketing today and how that’s evolving.
Additionally, two-time winners HubSpot CMO Mike Volpe and Experian SVP of Global Marketing Ashley Johnston will join 2012 40 Under 40 winners Big Fuel CCO Avi Savar and Sumant Yerramilly, cofounder of Coffee Match, in a panel discussion on their success strategies and what they’re doing now to maintain their career and company momentum.
Full profiles of the winners will run in the November issue of Direct Marketing News and online.
