Hot from the main stage of the illustrious 3% Conference, The One Club for Creativity has the honor of unveiling the amazing women who have won Next Creative Leaders 2019! This year’s winners once again highlight women who not only possess impressive creative portfolios but are also working towards greater diversity and equality in an industry forever striving for both.
For the first time in its five-year history, Next Creative Leaders is awarding one of its ten accolades to a team rather than an individual — in this case, the duo of Sali Horseyand Zoe Nash of adam&eveDDB in London. This means that we are welcoming eleven phenomenal women into this year’s class — the more, the merrier!
While each year of this competition has brought new highlights and new insights, one thing has remained consistent, year after year: Each Next Creative Leaders class manages to raise the bar. The 2019 Next Creative Leaders delivered the fiercest competition this year’s jury has seen, truly enviable work, and inspiring stories of creation in the face of adversity. But they also reminded us that the real magic behind game changing creative is the special people who will it into existence.
The 2019 Next Creative Leaders:
- Honored the journalists who risked their lives and reputations to bring us the truth at any cost.
- Challenged the practice of Female Genital Mutilation with grace and hope.
- Gave men the words they needed to join the fight for women’s rights.
- And they reminded us to find our brave in tumultuous times — “even if it means sacrificing everything.”

These talented women are a beautiful reminder that real leadership doesn’t require the perfect opportunity, a big budget, or a fancy title. Real leadership just asks you to show up for yourself, your beliefs and each other. For the ideas that light up your heart. And for the future you’re excited to be a part of.
