The Executive Committee of the Creative Circle comprises the 9 highest scoring creative directors (from 9 different agencies), in an annual survey, in which each CC member agency is asked to rank the top 30 creative directors in order from 1-50.  This table is then collated and the top 9 names selected.

The chairperson has four extra nominations, primarily to redress the predominantly pale, male make-up of the committee.

There is an ASA representative and a Think representative on the Exco.

Members of the Creative Circle vote for the Chairperson every two years.
