2025 Mediaweek 100

Mediaweek Presents: The 2025 Mediaweek 100 2025

Mediaweek, Australia’s leading trade media publication, proudly presents the return of the Mediaweek 100, our flagship event celebrating the people, talent, and partnerships shaping the future of media, marketing, and content.

Now in its fifth year, the Mediaweek 100 has become one of the most trusted and influential editorial platforms in the industry. It goes beyond popularity or categories - this is a curated celebration of real influence, impact, and progress.

Each list is carefully assembled by Mediaweek’s editorial team, with insight from respected industry advisory panels, reflecting a cross-section of leadership, innovation, and collaboration across the sector.

2025 recognitions include:

The Mediaweek 100
The definitive power list of Australia’s most influential media and marketing leaders - those setting the agenda, driving transformation, and leading the industry forward. This year, the Mediaweek 100 will debut a refreshed format, breaking the 100 most influential leaders into five themed groups of 20. Each group highlights a different type of influence, ensuring broader representation and more opportunities to spotlight talent across all corners of the industry.

• The Power 20: Australia’s most influential executives shaping strategy and industry direction
• The Growth 20: Leaders driving significant commercial or audience growth
• The Innovation 20: Visionaries redefining how the industry operates
• The Influence 20: Public-facing leaders shaping perception and cultural relevance

The Agency 50
