What was your favourite PR/comms campaign from 2024 and why? 

Wicked. No one could escape it, it’s what everyone was talking about. They had the wildest brand collaborations, I actually cannot wait to see what they do for Wicked part 2. I’m holding space for that.

As always, we’ve got a great DJ booked for The Pros Awards award ceremony in September – what’s your dancefloor-filler request?
