Christian Davin, Dana Nussbaum & John Stanford
Co-Heads of Global Marketing & Head of Global Creative Strategy, Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group
Dream team: The global marketing and creative strategy behind every Warner Bros. Pictures release is shaped by this trio, equipped with cutting-edge data and their finger on the pulse of culture. In 2025, the studio grossed over $4 billion at the worldwide box office and continued its momentum into 2026 with its ninth consecutive No. 1 opening weekend, an industry record that reflects their ability to craft campaigns that break through.
Collaboration first: Proving they can work with well-known IP and original stories alike, the trio leads by closely collaborating with filmmakers to ensure stories as varied as A Minecraft Movie and One Battle After Another find their audiences.
Claudia Chagui
EVP of Marketing & Creative Strategy, NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises
Futbol’s night: It may be the biggest night in American sports, but Claudia Chagui reframed the Super Bowl as the launchpad for this summer’s FIFA World Cup with Owen Wilson and Sofía Vergara. Using humor and bilingual storytelling, she connected with both English- and Spanish-speaking audiences.
The home of culture: As creative director, she launched “El Mundial Es Nuestro,” a cinematic in-house countdown to this summer’s World Cup filmed across all of the tournament’s host cities with real fans, making Telemundo a cultural amplifier rather than just a broadcaster.
Primetime dominance: Her tenure has seen the highest-ranked series (La Casa de los Famosos All-Stars and Dinastía Casillas) and live events (the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards), all winning their time slots among Adults 18-49. The Miss Universe pageant was also the most-watched Spanish-language primetime entertainment special of the year.
Ebony Coles
Creative Director of Copy, AMC Global Media
Streaming through it: One rebrand is enough to keep a person busy for a year. But AMC Global Media’s Ebony Coles tackled three in 2025. Horror streaming service Shudder got a more tension-filled tone to attract casual fans; independent film streamer Sundance Now put its dedication to artistry front and center; and For All Reality, a newly launched subscription video-on-demand service, she created a glam-soaked brand voice from the ground up.
