Chris Brown makes PR Week rising stars list

Chris Brown, the head of our public affairs practice in Belfast, has been named one of the top 29 under 29 by PR Week. He is the only Irish based practitioner to make this year’s listing.

From this weeks PR week:

Every year PRWeek identifies the brightest young talent in the UK PR industry. Nominations are invited from agencies and comms teams, then put to a panel of independent judges to choose their favourites. The result is the PRWeek 29 under 29, the ultimate showcase of the industry’s rising stars who are aged under 29 years old on 30 May 2009.

This year PRWeek was swamped with nominations, but as you will see from these pages, the 29 young PR professionals selected encompass the energy, creativity and drive needed to shine in a very competitive field.

Its a great recognition for Chris and I am very glad to have nominated him. He is a great colleague and a good friend. It’s a recognition of quality of Northern PR agencies and the home grown talent we have working in our region and across the island. I’m just not looking forward to next years pay negotiations!
