INTRODUCING JERSEY’S BEST MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS PROFESSIONALS UNDER 40 FOR 2019!
In this fast paced world of marketing and communications, we often don’t pause to appreciate those around us whose contributions make our lives a little better. We typically honor the creative itself or those that have dedicated a lifetime to our industry yet all too often fail to give recognition to those that have made a substantial impact on our industry before they’ve reached the age of 40.
For the fourth straight year, the NJ Ad Club put out a call for nominations to find Jersey’s Best marketing and communications professionals under 40. Based on the criteria, thirty outstanding, driven, detail orientation, successful MARCOM professionals were selected.
They are professionals who impact their respective fields and company, they exhibit qualities such as leadership, career progress, community involvement and creating and/or achieving recognition from their peers, the public or their employers.
We are so excited to introduce you to Jersey’s Best for 2019.
