DMNews is accepting nominations for its second annual Top 30 under 30 Direct and Digital Marketers. In an special year-end online exclusive, DMNews will reveal a list of young professionals selected for their proven abilities to lead teams, initiate change and growth, drive measurable results for clients and deliver fresh insight into the marketing challenges in the direct, database and interactive marketing industry.
Last year's winners spanned the breadth of the industry, from list marketing professionals to digital agency creatives to database specialists. Topping the list was The Hyperfactory's Jeff Arbour, a mobile marketer who launched more than 125 mobile campaigns across the globe in 2008 for brands including Toyota, JCPenney, Motorola, DHL, Unilever, Nestle and Procter & Gamble. His award winning direct marketing work, as well as his participation in industry groups such as the Mobile Marketing Association and the advisory board for Parsons Emerging Research Lab, placed him at the top of last year's list. He has also spoken at the MMA Forum in New York City and Spain and the Interactive Advertising Bureau.
"The 30 under 30 competition is a great chance for us to get to know some of the up-and-coming direct marketing minds," said Cara Wood, DMNews' editor-in-chief. "Last year, we were blown away by the achievements from some of the industry's youngest players. I'm looking forward to hearing from more talented leaders this year."
Entrants must be actively employed in the direct or digital marketing industry and 30 years of age or younger as of December 7, 2009. E-mail Cara Wood at cara.wood@dmnews.com for an entry form, or visit DMNews.com for a link to an online submission form. The deadline is October 30.
