Ad Age's annual A-List celebrates the very best that the industry has to offer. Whether for their bold creativity, lucrative business strategy or continual transformation—and often it's a combination—the agencies on this year's list rank among the top, perhaps, of all time. But the work and the deals don't happen in a vacuum. It took people. So in a landscape that has been lit up by the #MeToo movement, we're kicking things off with the portrait above of some of our A-Listers' most badass women. For more on how we got here, read our editors' letter.
