Meet the Top-Ranked Global Creative Talent of 2026

The Clio Awards debuts an initiative recognizing the individuals behind this year’s award-winning work across 5 regions and 7 disciplines

To mark the next evolution of how the Clios celebrate creative excellence, the Clio Awards has launched its inaugural Global Talent Rankings. While the Clios have long recognized the industry’s most awarded work and the organizations behind such efforts, this initiative shines a spotlight on the individuals whose contributions brought those ideas to life.

Based on the official individual credits submitted with winning 2026 Clio Awards entries, the rankings recognize top-performing talent across five global regions and seven disciplines: Account & Client Services, Creative, Marketing, Ones to Watch, Production, PR & Communications and Strategy.
