As PR forges new paths and breaks new ground in communications and marketing, PRWeek US celebrates the influencers and innovators guiding the industry forward with the 2026 40 Under 40 class. We’re shining a light on a diverse and impressive mix of next-generation PR leaders who are shaping the future of PR.

PRWeek US honorees are individuals who 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, digital and content, while at the same time maintaining the traditional skills of senior counsel and trusted advice to the C-suite. 

“If you want to meet the top PR executives of the coming decades, look no further than PRWeek’s 40 Under 40 list,” said PRWeek executive editor Frank Washkuch. “Hailing from across industries and subsectors of PR and communications, the 2026 class of 40 Under 40 is shaping the industry to be smarter, faster and more predictive for the future.”
