Business Insider is begging you—yes, YOU—to nominate the marketing world’s future ’rising stars’ by December 23, 2026. Apparently, there’s a mythical group of early-to-mid career brand marketers mastering AI, influencer shenanigans, partnerships, and data crunching, all while pushing their companies forward like caffeine-fueled hamsters. But don’t send in your beloved agency wizards or adtech apostles—they’re not invited to this party. Support your nomination with case studies and juicy quantitative data, because vague praise won’t cut it here. And if you love deadlines and bureaucratic excitement, mark your calendar twice because the page confusingly lists December 23, 2025, too.
