Business Insider's 30 Most Creative People In Advertising Under 30 LinkedIn / BI The advertising industry is burgeoning with young talent. With the constant need for fresh ideas and innovative social media marketing, it's a hotbed for the under-30 crowd.

But it's hard to get recognition if you haven't put in your time.

Business Insider put out a call for nominations for the 30 most creative people in advertising under the age of 30 to identify the next generation of bigwigs. These are the men and women who will have their names on a company door, eventually. (Interestingly enough, it was more difficult to grab names of the under-30 crowd than it was of any of our other agency ranking lists. There's a stigma both about being too young and too old. So we've been flexible with our definitions and included a few people who just turned 30 this year.)

Based on agency and peer nominations, along with our own research into awards, campaigns, and innovative potential, we came up with a list of the people you have to watch.
