PRWeek is looking for the next generation of PR leaders in the US.

As PR continues to evolve at the intersection of innovation, influence, and impact, PRWeek US proudly honors the trailblazers driving the industry forward with the 2025 40 Under 40 class. 

These standout professionals should not only master emerging tools and platforms—spanning digital, social, content, and integrated strategies—but are also preserving the essential tenets of the profession: strategic counsel, thoughtful storytelling, and trusted guidance at the highest levels. 

“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.”
