PRWeek’s 40 Under 40 2024: The Next Wave

This year's honorees are helping drive innovation and growth in the comms industry at a crucial time for the profession.

by PRWeek staff10 September 2024

The rising stars that comprise this year’s honorees are redefining the role of communications, PR and marketing.

The experiences of the 40 PR pros hold up a mirror to an industry that is evolving quickly in the areas of integration and social, AI, digital and content, while at the same time maintaining the traditional skills of senior counsel and trusted advice to the C-suite.

This diverse group already does important and substantial work, blazing a trail in influencer marketing, reputation management, AI-driven comms tech, sports management, DE&I and so much more.

Join us at the 40 Under 40 event in NYC on October 23.
