In the name of celebrating talent, we are pleased to offer you a free digital copy of our Rising Talent issue for 2024.
Those on this year’s list are people we think will shift and lead our industry into the future. Some are newer faces. Others have recently stepped into senior roles where they’re now making waves. We think you’ll want to work with all of them.
We put this list together through public call out and extensive industry outreach. This year, we had a staggering 692 names put forward. Our team researches every suggestion put to us; there are lots of man hours and spreadsheets involved in putting this list together. We know we’re just scratching the surface here in terms of the incredible talent in this country.
