The 2014 Media All-Stars

Leaders from Glossier, Shopify, Mastercard and more will take the stage at Brandweek to share what strategies set them apart and how they incorporate the most valued emerging trends. Register to join us this September 23–26 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Relying on their skills and talents, the 12 media agency executives (actually, 11 executives and one rising star) who make up this year's group of Media All-Stars have bent technology to their will and devised unique strategies to deliver the goods for their clients. Leading the charge is our Executive of the Year, OMD USA's CEO Monica Karo, whose return to OMD last year resulted almost immediately in landing $800 million of Disney's business. And Rising Star Brandon Miller's work at Carmichael Lynch for client Subaru helped the client boost its digital spend from less than $1 million in 2006 to more than $60 million last year. Here are their stories.
