Time is running short to put forth your vote for the marketing leaders and brands you feel are having the biggest impact on the industry landscape in 2026.

Strategy is moving up its deadline for nominations for its annual Marketer of the Year and Brand of the Year to July 15.

For Marketer of the Year, we’re looking for leaders who are challenging convention, inspiring teams and delivering meaningful results for their organizations. For Brand of the Year, we’re seeking brands that are redefining their categories through innovation, stronger consumer connections or standout business performance.

To nominate a marketer or a brand, send a brief submission (500 words or less) outlining their achievements along with names and titles to strategy editor-in-chief Brendan Christie (bchristie@brunico.com) by 5 p.m. on July 15.

Finalists will be selected by the strategy editorial team and profiled in an upcoming magazine issue
