The 2016 winners

We received 117 applications from some of the smartest thinkers and doers that anyone could hope to find in any industry – so it was hard for the judges to pick this year's cream of the crop, in partnership with Millennial Rules from MailOnline and Metro. Here are the Media Week 30 under 30 – congratulations to our winners!
