Two Awards for the Young and the Relentless

Deadlines are approaching for two youth-oriented PR awards. Submissions for PRWeek’s second annual 40 Under 40 list are due by September 15th, and the PRNews 15 to Watch (for execs 30 and under) closes on August 15th.

The 2007 40 Under 40 included big agency execs such as Josh Gottheimer (just 31) from Burson Marsteller (just 31 years old) and Jeff Chertack (28) from Olgivy, and internal people from megabrands like Brandee Barker (37) from Facebook, and Nicki Dugan (39) from Yahoo!

The list is heaviest on agency founders and CEOs such as Clive Armitage from Bite, Fred Bateman, Bateman Group, Aaron Kwittken, Kwittken & Co., Roxanna Lissa from RL PR, and Ronn Torossian of 5WPR.

The 2007 15 to Watch is even more diverse with the majority female, from places like Food Network, HP, Weber Shandwick, SHIFT, Match.com, and the House of Representatives.
