PR News is proud to give a nod to the 15-to-Watch honorees, those rookies who, well, really aren’t rookies at all. As you will see by clicking on the names in the two 15-to-Watch lists below, they have quickly become expert PR practitioners, despite their relative brevity of their careers. We also offer some personal stats to show that their horizons expand beyond the field of PR.
All of these current and future all-stars were honored at a Nov. 30, 2011, awards luncheon at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C, which also celebrated the PR People Award winners and honorable mentions, the 2011 PR Hall of Fame inductees and the 2011 Top Places to Work in PR.
