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 2025 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. 

“The 40 Under 40 alumni from the past decade represent a who’s who of communications and many honorees have gone on to senior positions in the industry,” said Steve Barrett, VP, editorial director of PRWeek. "We are looking for qualities that reveal a lot about the skills required to prosper in today’s competitive and fast-changing environment.”
