BREAKING: The highly anticipated Mediaweek 100 is set to return on October 24, 2025, at Crown Sydney, unveiling a dynamic new format that promises to reshape the landscape of Australia’s media and marketing sectors.

This year’s event introduces five themed lists, each recognizing 20 influential leaders whose decisions and visions have significantly impacted the industry over the past year. This is not merely a roll-call; it’s a celebration of the diverse executives, creatives, and innovators driving change in the media landscape.

NEW FORMAT ALERT: The Mediaweek 100 will feature the following categories:

– **Power 20:** Spotlighting Australia’s most influential executives who are steering the strategic agenda and forging significant partnerships within the media industry.

– **Growth 20:** Honoring executives who have achieved remarkable momentum through audience growth, new revenue streams, and transformative results in their organizations.

– **Innovation 20:** Celebrating visionaries redefining the intersection of media, marketing, and technology by launching new platforms and pioneering product development.

– **Influence 20:** Recognizing public-facing leaders who shape narratives and influence industry perceptions, leveraging their visibility and communication skills.

– **Impact 20:** Acknowledging leaders who champion diversity, sustainability, and cultural renewal, setting modern leadership benchmarks in 2025.

In addition, the Agency 50 will return with a fresh approach, now judged on merit rather than scale. This change, guided by a new advisory panel, ensures that both major holding groups and independent agencies are recognized for their creativity and measurable impact.

Submissions for all categories are now open, providing an opportunity for individuals to showcase their achievements to the editorial team. The event will also honor a Mediaweek Icon, a prestigious accolade recognizing a titan whose career has profoundly influenced Australia’s media landscape.
