This year’s Agency Faces to Watch list is bursting with next-gen talent. From rising stars in creative to future leaders in digital, media and PR, these individuals aren’t just making an impression — they’re shaping the future of the industry.
Each one has been nominated by their agency, backed by senior leadership, and recognised for their passion, potential and performance. Whether they’re crafting bold ideas, cracking complex briefs, or pushing boundaries behind the scenes, they represent the best of what’s next.
Congratulations to all those featured.
Here’s our Creative Faces to Watch — and keep an eye out, as our Digital, Media and PR categories are coming up next. You can also read the digital version of the magazine here.
