Meet This Month's Propel 25: Top PR Professionals Shaping the Industry [Nov 2026]
At Propel, we launched Propel 25 with a clear purpose: to recognize the PR professionals who spend their careers putting others in the spotlight.
On the first of every month, we highlight 25 professionals doing exceptional work in PR and communications. Each edition links directly to every honoree, so you can follow their work and connect with them.
Since our launch, the response from the industry has been encouraging. Honorees have reached out to thank us and shared the list with their networks, and nominations nearly doubled within a month, with submissions arriving from as far as Zambia and Portugal. We are grateful to everyone who has nominated, shared the list, and emailed us.
