Welcome to the 2018 Power 50 list, which ranks the most influential people in the industry.

#40 Larry Cohen & Joan Landorf, Axis Promotions (asi/128263)

These one-time competitors joined up about a decade ago to lead Axis, a New York distributor that serves clients from Zappos to USA Network. Landorf and Cohen run their firm like a creative agency and benefit from a diverse and talented staff that includes far more women than men. Over the last five years, Axis has produced an average annual growth rate of 5.5%, driving total company revenue north of $50 million in 2017.

“Our responsibility as leaders is to encourage, support and raise the bar for others to learn, contribute and feel valued.” Joan Landorf, Axis Promotions
