Top 40 Under 40

Help Choose the Next 40 Under 40 in Canadian Advertising, Marketing & PR

The Top 40 Under 40 is returning for 2027 after a short hiatus — and for the first time, it's running across two tracks: PR In Canada, recognizing PR and communications talent, and Canadian Ad Insider, recognizing advertising and marketing talent, in its first year as its own dedicated stream. We're building this year's jury for both. As part of the jury, you'll help set the bar for who gets recognized, put your name behind the program's credibility, and have the final say if a category comes down to a tie.

What being a jury member involves:

• Help spread the word on the call for nominations within your own network — jury members are the program's best evangelists, and your name on the jury list is part of what gives a nomination weight
• Review shortlisted nominees against the program's published judging criteria and confirm they hold up — this is a vetting pass, not scoring every nominee from scratch
• Cast a tiebreaker vote if a category is too close to call
• Time Commitment: 1 hour

What you get as a jury member:

• Named publicly as a Top 40 Under 40 juror, with title and company, on Canadian Ad Insider/ PR In Canada
• First look at the rising talent shaping the next decade of the industry

Who we're looking for:

• Senior leaders (director level and above) with a minimum of 15 years of experience in the advertising, marketing or public relations industry experience
• Working across the agency & brand side
• Currently active and working in Canada

Deadline to apply: November 13, 2026
