After receiving more than 100 nominations for this year's 30 Under 30 list the Media Week editorial team has compiled the 30 media professionals who best matched the criteria asked for.
The list is a good representation of media agencies and owners with a sprinkling of clients and provides an insight into the future of the industry with many of the nominations exceeding what was expected of them for their age, while also demonstrating great entrepreneurial spirit.

- Greatest achievement in the media arena
- An example of problem solving for one of their clients
