Communicate has unveiled its Best Brands and Top Marketers Issue 2026, spotlighting the brands and marketing leaders who truly stood out in 2025—not through noise or scale alone, but through clarity, consistency, and long-term brand thinking.
The issue recognises organisations that demonstrated sustained marketing leadership across a year marked by platform fragmentation, cultural shifts, and volatile markets. From luxury and FMCG to technology, travel, financial services, and public entities, the Best Brands List 2026 highlights those that translated strategy, creativity, and purpose into enduring brand equity.
Running alongside it, the Top Marketers List 2026 celebrates the individuals driving that impact. Selected for influence rather than title, the list features marketers who balanced brand-building with commercial outcomes, led transformation across markets, and set new benchmarks for relevance and growth.
Both lists were curated through a rigorous editorial process combining campaign analysis, performance indicators, brand sentiment, industry recognition, and qualitative judgement, supported by interviews, submissions, and publicly available data.
Together, the issue offers a snapshot of marketing leadership today—and a lens into where the industry is heading next.
