Requirements to be on the list

4. You must be 27 years old or under
5. You must work or want to work in advertising or any other marketing communications specialty, it doesn´t matter if you´re a planner, copywriter, art director, account executive or else.
6. You can only have one blog in the rank.
Cool list Jules and very handy. I'm actually 28, so don't qualify but cheers for including! Good news is everyone moves up a spot!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Age, the list has been amended!
ReplyDeleteGreat list, much blog reading to be done! Alas, I feel like an old man, at 29 I'm an elder (in age, not wisdom) of the community.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm 19 for another five weeks, but I'm not going to complain with that ranking!
ReplyDeleteGood work as always Jules, great minds, thinking alike.
Nice list! Always great to see peers sharing their thoughts on the ad world. I co-founded Yaybia! - a blog written by passionate young (22-24 years old) professional advertising women in Minneapolis. Feel free to check it out!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.yaybia.com
Nice work, Jules. I am sure you'll get a flood of new entries in the days and weeks ahead!
ReplyDeletePS how do you ask politely about age?
I'd have thought AdGrads was higher on the list :o
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, thanks for the mention! I'm 22, by the way.
ReplyDeleteHey Jules,
ReplyDeleteHaven't updated good old The Zeitgeists for a couple of weeks and planning on an online rebrand and relaunch, but would like to be in the running for inclusion on the list for next time - if I'm comfortable with giving away my age that is. ;-)
Gavin - that is a good questions, I am hoping that most people will tell me there age.
ReplyDeleteErin, I will make sure to add you to the next list, if there is anyone else you know from the States that should be on the list, please let me know.
Zac Martin - indeed stupid minds do think alike. ;)
Mihnea - I have made the ammendments.
Kate - Would be happy to include you on the next list, what age should I put you down for?
My blog is only 60% about advertising and also only 60% in english but I'm happy for all those who made it in this top!
ReplyDeleteI think it's really cool that someone did put some light on (some of) the young minds in advertising from allover the world.
Keep it up, guys!
Saw one PR blog on the list...so I'll throw a few out there:
ReplyDeleteLAF - http://laurenafernandez.com
David Spinks - http://davidspinks.com
Ryan Stephens - http://ryanstephensmarketing.com/blog
Figure I'll throw my blog on as well:
http://thelostjacket.com
Hi mate - I'm only 25 :), however the biggest hassle for me of late will be squeaking in under the 3 month rule... really need to drag myself back to more regular blogging!
ReplyDeleteNice one Jules, thanks for including me in as a sympathy vote! Note to new bloggers - start your blog on the domain you want to keep, changing can be painful. For the record, I'm 26.
ReplyDeletePS. I'm secretly fuming Quintessentially Digital has beaten me. I will have my revenge Zoe!
Ah Nathan, not only am I a few positions higher than you on this list, i am also 2 years younger and therefore far more accomplished...
ReplyDeleteI am awesome and you are slightly less awesome :-)
Thanks for that Julian, great to make it onto the list.
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI I am actually only 22 at the moment, but there are only a few months to go until Im 23 so thats cool. :P

ReplyDeletehey man, i dont know how my blog ranks but i'm under the age limit (haven't had to say that in awhile)
ReplyDeleteStuffThatIsRelevant.com (or unmasked: samadblog.blogspot.com)
thanks!
Hey Jules,
ReplyDeleteNice work. I'm 26 so could you add my blog to the list if it makes the grade? www.maloneyonmarketing.com
Cheers
Chris
Yeah no worries guys, I have got you all on the list. If you know anyone else who should be on it, let me know.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inclusion Julian! Nice list. All the best, Lex.
ReplyDeleteMy hair loss may reflect that of a 48 yr old but my real age means I'm eligible... Am 25 yrs mate.
ReplyDeleteNo worries Simon, a mates grandma once told me that a receding hair line reflected how wise a man was. So take it as a compliment. I will add you to the list!
ReplyDeleteDamn why not 30 under 30 :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Jules. I love scraping into your lists. I sometimes feel like I've just won the well done ribbon for finishing forth in a 100m sprint in grade 4. "Well done son, you work hard and you could get a medal next year." :)
ReplyDeleteNo compalints though. For the record though I agree with @mrtruffle and vote for a movement to change this list to under 30. It's a more rounded number, and also gives people like me who are approaching 28 too quickly some more time in the limelight of youth.
Lastly, how can we get a 'Top 27 Blogs of people under 27' badge?
Well done mate
Kruppy
Hey Jules,
ReplyDeleteGreat list and thanks for aggregating so many cool blogs for us to check out later.
Keep up the tidy work.
- Nige
Nice list and thanks for including me. I'm 23(just)if you want to include that.
ReplyDeleteI'll make sure to check out some of the other blogs on the list.

Hey Jules!
ReplyDeleteI just noticed this, thanks!
Your memory is shocking...24?! But I'll get over it because everyone puts me as older than I am, god help me when I'm 30. You can adjust my age to be 22!
:)
Honoured to have made the list!
ReplyDeleteYou can replace the ? by the blog with a 22!
Cheers,
Angus
The Bottom Rung
You might want to throw in www.PreneurMarketing.com - the blog is Pete Williams who is 27.
ReplyDeletewow, thanks for linking me!
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly interesting for me to read the post. Thank author for it. I like such themes and everything connected to this matter. I would like to read more on that blog soon.
ReplyDeletei'm gonna make my own blog
ReplyDeleteOpulently I to but I about the collection should secure more info then it has.
ReplyDeleteI inclination not agree on it. I assume polite post. Specially the appellation attracted me to study the sound story.
ReplyDeleteBTW, buy GPS jammer to block all secret transmitters in your room or at work.
