Have you made the Power100?
Have you made the Power100?Have you been nominated by readers of The Drum to make the Power100 list?
Find out by clicking here to see the full list of nominations for the Power100.
The list aims to highlight the most influential agency individiuals in the regions.
For the last four months The Drum has been asking its readers to nominate individuals that deserve to make the list. Now, we are asking readers to get involved again and help us whittle the long list down to just 100 names.
The nominations include over 200 individuals, and we now want you to select just five names from that longlist to make it through to the final shortlist, which will be published before the end of the year.

Vote Cowing. He can bench 200lbs.
Does anyone really care?
Anonymous 11.46 obviously didn't make the list. In fact there is an argument that Anonymous should get an entry this year, given all the debates/scraps/insults caused..

There must be some sort of mistake...I can't see my name on there?
Where's anonymous?
Eh? Where are all the clients?
Here.
So... I'm not even in the top 200 then?
Gareth but no Zane? We now know who wears the trousers at Newhaven.
15.39 - If you've never heard of any of these people, how come you know they're old?
good work Columbo
influential agency individuals... you got to be kidding me... some of these people listed shouldn't even be on there
Did they nominate themselves? - can't think who else would.
It would be far more interesting to reveal who nominated themselves. Go on.
Or who is asking people to vote for them via their agency blog?
Cough..Unsuit...Cough...Able...Splutter.
I bet the list tallies up pretty closely to those agencies that have advertised in this years drum year book - just a thought....
As well as blogs (smirk) can you imagine all the status updates/tweets that have gone out in the last 24 hours?
"I have been nominated as one of the 100 most important people in regional advertising. Please vote for me (insert link) even though you may not have the slightest idea about what it is that I do or the industry I work in."
I agree with Anonymous 10.29 - The top 100 should be about the staff, these are the influential agency individuals that make the difference, come up with the ideas, work the late nights, cancel their lives, this is not about the chiefs who sit at the top taking all the acclaim voting for themselves just so they can polish their ego's.

Do we get a power lunch out of this?
Pointless!
Sigh. Yet another Drum-invented platform that taps into the fragile egos and bottomless emotional yearnings of individuals to be recognised as 'somebody' in this most vainglorious of industries.
Hats off to Gordon Young for identifying this and unleashing list after list, after award ceremony, after regional feature, after directory for people to scrabble over.
Look at me, ma! LOOK AT ME!
Stephen, Richard - be good sports and at least reveal how many people nominated themselves - no need to mention names.
Max Power!
He's the man,
Whose name you'd love to touch!
But you mustn't touch.
His name sounds good in your ear,
but when you say it, you mustn't fear!
Cuz his name can be said by anyone!
I agree with Anonymous 10.56 and 10.29 - myself and another from the same agency have been long listed - the team we work with are amazing and deserve a huge credit for the work produced. That said the two of us long listed also "come up with the ideas, work the late nights, cancel their lives". I've gone anonymous as I don't need to "polish my ego" as working with the best team I know is satisfying enough.
Alistair Sim??! very credible survey then...

I don't see how what happens in a chap's private life has any bearing on how influential he is. Alastair is undoubtedly influential and inspirational to both the people he works with and many more in the wider industry.
To suggest that the man's hegemony is somehow cancelled out by one incident in his private life is the work of a small and petty mind.
I think you're mixing up 'power' and 'influence' there, bud.

Sorry, but I'm not going to sit and watch anyone being disparaged anonymously.
No!
What happens next? Is there some kind of robe handed over?
Is the Simon Sinclair commenting below the Simon Sinclair who was a copywriter at Cogent once upon a time? If so you would have thought he'd have learned the correct definition of "hegemony" by now.
Wow. I wonder how many of the negative comments come from people not on the shortlist. ;)
