2024 Influence 100

Against the “permacrisis” backdrop of major geopolitical, economic, societal, cultural and environmental upheaval around the world, corporations and brands continue to face intense consumer, media and stakeholder scrutiny. And their senior communications and marketing executives are expected to deliver more than ever, faster than ever. Meanwhile, smart CEOs recognise that trusted communications counsel is not only integral to reputation and transformation, but is business-critical in such uncertain times — and the 100 names on our 2024 list provide ample evidence of this recognition.
