This year's award categories and winners include:
Brad Smallwood, Facebook
Mr. Smallwood's Nominators said: "Brad seeks to redefine Facebook's business, every day. As VP of Measurement and Insights, Brad has pushed Facebook to scientifically measure everything we do, which informs what products and services we need to build or improve. He and his team's work has resulted in fundamental components of our business and driven success. Congratulations to Brad for all of his hard work and all that he does to drive our business."
Leslie Wood, Nielsen Catalina Solutions
Ms. Wood's Nominators said: "Leslie consistently thinks outside of the box when considering what analytics to use in any situation. She brings to bear types of analytics that add to the industry's arsenal and was the first to show the recency effect in singlesource data using ScanAmerica -- and was irreplaceable to the industry during the Apollo Project."
Winner: Artie Bulgrin, ESPN
Mr. Bulgrin's Nominators said: "Artie recognized the changing media environment long before most of his counterparts, and has been at the forefront of leading change around media behavior and consumption ever since. Congratulations to Artie for a lifetime of industry leadership and substantial support to advancing cross-media measurement."
Winner: Horst Stipp, The Advertising Research Foundation
Mr. Stipp's Nominators said: "Horst has always shown a great commitment not in just the work we do, but in teaching about the work we do. He has spent a lot of time studying people, which gives him a great perspective and allows him to effectively communicate human behavior to others. Horst deserves this award for many reasons, but his role as a teacher is certainly one of the top reasons why."
Winner: Joseph Wantroba, Nielsen Marketing Solutions
Mr. Wantroba's Nominators said: "In the past year, Joseph has truly made his mark on the ARF Young Pros by serving as the anchoring member of the Advisory Board in Chicago. In the first year of building out the chapter, Joeseph's work was invaluable. He has been a consistent and thoughtful contributor to the organization and to our peers. We look forward to seeing so many more great things from this year's Young Pro."
Winner: Aaron Fetters, Kellogg Company

Under his leadership, Rod has consistently kept Dstillery ahead of the curve, from having the foresight to shift the company focus to programmatic, to building a cookie-free pipeline, to building the system for mobile signal modeling and at scale cross-channel delivery.
