FIPP’s new global Rising Stars in Media awards has been created to discover and recognise those individuals – from around the world – under the age of 30 in, or associated with, media companies who are behind developing remarkable initiatives for the industry, their companies and/or brands.
In September, FIPP will release a global Rising Stars in Media list, recognising the top achievers. The top three rising stars will then be invited to attend and speak at the prestigious FIPP World Congress in Toronto, Canada (from 13-15 October), where they will also be presented with their awards.
Duncan Edwards, President and CEO of Hearst Magazines International in the USA, said: “I am delighted that FIPP is launching the Rising Stars Awards this year and will be encouraging Hearst companies to enter their best young people.
“Our industry has always been built by the talented people who choose to work in it and competition for this talent has never been greater. It is very important to recognise the amazing work that younger people in our industry do for their companies and to do this in a public way at the FIPP World Congress (in Toronto, Canada from 13-15 October 2015) is a great idea.”
