PRWeek 30 under 30
Anyone working in PR knows how demanding the craft can be. When a campaign breaks through the clutter, it’s almost always down to individuals who bring sharp thinking, relentless curiosity, and the confidence to try something untested.
PRWeek’s 30 Under 30 was built to make sure that talent doesn’t go unnoticed. We look beyond job titles to find the people making a tangible difference to their teams, their clients, and the wider sector.
As we open this year’s initiative, our goal remains simple: provide a real, credible launchpad for the next generation of leaders. Whether your background is corporate reputation, creative consumer PR, public affairs, or digital storytelling, this is your platform. Take your seat at the table - or nominate the colleague whose work deserves the spotlight.
