Mediaweek‘s Next of The Best Awards recognises and celebrates the leaders of today and tomorrow of the advertising, media and marketing industry. This is not an age-based accolade; Next of the Best seeks to recognise the industry’s current and future leaders based on the impact and contribution they are currently making to their company, sector or the wider industry.
The awards celebrate the leaders of today and tomorrow; they may or may not currently be leaders in terms of positions, they demonstrate influence and leadership skills in driving the industry forward – whether through innovative thinking, new approaches to content, driving culture, pushing boundaries or providing inspiration to others.
The Next of the Best recognises the current contribution as well as the future potential of the industry’s leaders of today and tomorrow.

“I was not expecting my name to be called out as Gold winner and I was beyond thrilled with the win. It’s certainly one of the proudest moments of my career! It was a true honour to be recognised amongst an extraordinary group of my peers.”– Rachel Miller, Foxtel Media
“As a TV producer specialising in the field of Casting, winning gold really did feel like a win for Casting in general. Even being nominated alongside these heavy hitters of the industry was a real honour. Once they had called out bronze and silver on the night, to be honest, I thought that was it for me. When my name was called for Gold I nearly fell off my chair… This win has been without a doubt the proudest achievement of my professional career.” – Mike Searle, Endemol Shine Australia
