#1 Eduardo Luz
Chief Brand & Concept Officer
Every landscape is littered with companies ahead of their time that forget to innovate while their competitors raced forward.
Rich Antoniello will probably never really know that little bits of advice he gave me have been that constant push to not wait for that to happen.
forget business coaches / peer groups / industry virtual conferences.
Not listening to the below is like deciding you no longer need to be in business.
NO BULLSHIT I’ll be here - you guys and girls can come back and thank me later.

#4 Casey Hurbis
Chief Marketing Officer at Quicken Loans
Ukonwa is one of those - while much of her career has been in the beauty industry (and she clearly made a name for herself there) Amazon’s recent hire of her seems to be focused on one thing she clearly has - talent!
You see that in the content she puts out there.
Will be interesting to see how her insights will shape the future of the brand.

#5 Ukonwa Kuzi-Orizu Ojo
Global Chief Marketing Officer, Prime Video and Amazon Studios
Something is just on point with Tariq.
While he does receive industry accolades along the way - to me he’s one of those marketers who we will only hear more and more about in the future.
Side note: whomever signed off on the Petco park sponsorship couldn’t have dreamed of more coverage this year ?

#7 Janey Whiteside
EVP & Chief Customer Officer, Walmart
We bitch about the tiny fees they try to charge for their content, we’re pissed if they don’t write about us and yet without them we really miss one of the main sources of factual and actual content.
Brian is one of those people - busting his @ss to try to ensure he and his team put out gobs of content.
If you don’t follow him or them - shame on you.
If you do and you don’t take that 1/2 a second to hit a like button when you see their content you are missing a critical step in being part of the culture of marketing - engagement with each other.

#8 Brian Morrissey
President and Editor in Chief at Digiday
His content is consistent and typically one of those “why didn’t I think of that” kinds of moments.
His episode of the CMO Suite remains one of our top downloads of all time and beyond that his journey is one of the most inspirational I’ve heard!

Jen may not post or put out content every day, but when she does - it’s usually pretty damn good stuff.
She’s talked about how there really isn’t a perfect “work/life” balance, she’s been an advocate for social change well before that was expected and she’s led the industry - PERIOD.

Duke has played a major part in shaping that growth and in sharing what he’s seen along the way!

#13 Jim Rossi

Mentor, entrepreneur, friend and now, to some extent, content provider.
Matt (and many members of his team including Alicia Alongi) have really stepped up their content game - helped in part from guidance from people like James Orsini.
His podcast BrownONBrand will often have some additional nuggets of wisdom as well.
Worth a follow if for no other reason than to just see his occasional rants on “if any of this has a point if I can’t measure a sale from it” ?

We disagree sometimes over the value of how to “build a brand” but he also drops lots of knowledge. Most appreciated is that it’s just that - him sharing what he knows.
Even more refreshing is the honesty he sprinkles in that even with all that knowledge, the business of “business” can be hugely challenging to the core. Follow him TODAY and be sure to come back and thank me later.
A BIT OF HONESTY ON MY PART HERE.
If you’ve read this far, this is my style of content. COMMENT, LIKE or if it’s not for you, UNFOLLOW - because doing none of the above kills the algorithm.

If you see a post from Josh or his team, there’s a damn good chance it’s purpose is to make you a better marketer.
Beyond that - he’s just a good, sincerely good, human being.... and this industry could use more of those.
If you are lucky enough to have a real conversation with him - you’ll often leave just wanting to stay in this crazy space.

Meeting Dea , CMO Variety, having her on The CMO Suite podcast and then her agreeing to be a guest at a live interview event I hosted at Evanta, a Gartner Company, was enough for me to know she is one of the most generous people in giving of her time and knowledge to this industry.
When I see a post of hers, I always always try to engage with a like or a comment, knowing that will be my little contribution to push it out a little farther in this world.
10 out 10 on the Hollywood industry chart!

Jeff has been there and has some battle scars to prove it that he often shares across platforms.

He posts passion content and anytime he’s doing a podcast or talking about the industry he does it with authenticity.
He also was kind enough to be a guest on our podcast & host us in Denver when he didn’t have to - one of my favorite episodes of all time!
