Beyond delivering some exceptional creative campaigns, these marketers showed us how to move and inspire consumers, even under the most challenging circumstances. With the Marketers of the Year list, Ad Age has the honor of recognizing these companies and brands for the incredible work they’ve done.”
TikTok has claimed the top spot on the list for its incredibly fast growth and mainstay over the course of this year.

They have even began to show their impact on mainstream media.
McDonald’s takes the #2 spot on the list this year. They set their targets on the problem of how the market had turned away from eating out as not always being an option. By creating dynamic and trend-setting collaborations, with artists like Travis Scott, the American fast food pass-time was able to stay on the minds and in the stomachs of its customers.

They cleverly mixed their content to help drive major gains in sales throughout the year. But most importantly, it gave the Lowe’s brand a relatable and relevant feel that resonated with its customers and kept them buying through the pandemic.
