wellth 30

A curated recognition of the leaders building enduring brands, communities, and culture.

 

more than an award

The Wellth 30 isn’t just an awards event.

It’s an ongoing recognition platform designed to celebrate leadership, amplify impact, and strengthen relationships across marketing, media, culture, and community.

Each honoree is recognized not only for what they have achieved, but for the influence they have on the people, organizations, and industries around them.

Honorees are recognized across editorial, social, newsletters, and video throughout the year, including at a private, curated gathering of leaders in New York City in September 2026.

This is where leaders making an impact get recognized and deepen their relationships, to keep building a more connected future.
