Your agency “sponsors” you and your PR team works with the publication. It’s a “pay to play” scenario like everything else.

Ad age asks leaders at agencies to nominate “someone below CD level who hasn’t been featured in ad age before”. Nominated person answers a series of questions about the work they did this year. They narrow it down from there.

Who’s watching the watchers?

likefunny

I was curious about this myself OP: "People get onto "Creatives to Watch" lists through a mix of great, innovative work that gets noticed by industry editors and journalists, strategic submissions by their agencies (often tied to advertising packages), strong personal branding / portfolios on social media, networking, and sometimes just being in the right place at the right time with a standout project. Though some lists have a perception of "pay-to-play" where ad buys influence inclusion, despite editorial claims."

It’s usually pay to play. Was curious and looked at one of their books and it was crap. Then again, I did look…
