Erik Ström • Creative @ Round and Round
Age: 26 

In this time of political upheaval, Hamburg graduate Erik offered Americans the opportunity to become creative expatriates with his timely "The Great Trump Escape."

The Great Trump Escape

Neil Lopez • Copywriter @ JWT
Steve Torres
 • Art Director @ JWT
Ages: 28 

Collectively—and no doubt affectionately—known around the office as "Neilven Torpez," the Miami Ad School San Francisco duo rocked a global campaign for Listerine.

Lauren Cooper • Copywriter @ Barton F. Graf
Erika Kohnen • Art Director @ Barton F. Graf
Ages: 29 and 26

Lauren (Miami Ad School Wynwood) and Erika (San Francisco) have been tearing it up with their innovative campaign for Krylon.

Soham Chatterjee • Senior Copywriter @ Leo Burnett Chicago 
Age: 28

Wynwood alumnus Soham—AKA  @sohamsandwich—makes his second appearance on the list, lining himself up perfectly for a 30-Under-30 hat trick. His work once again wowed the Business Insider editors, particularly his work for Donate Life America.

Temnete Sebhatu • Copywriter @ TBWA\ Media Arts Lab – Los Angeles
Joe Russomano • Art Director @ TBWA\ Media Arts Lab – Los Angeles
Ages: 28

Miami Ad School San Francisco grads Temnete and Joe created a TV commercial that should become a holiday classic as enduring as that old red-nosed reindeer. "Frankie's Holiday" is two whole minutes of all the feels.

Florian Marquart • Senior Creative/ACD @ Goodby, Silverstein Partners
Age: 28

Berlin grad Florian has had a prolific and very visible year with the likes of Snickers' "Photoshop-Fail" and Doritos' "No-Choice" campaign for Rock the Vote. We have a special place in our hearts for #Help50Cent.
