dmg media Ireland's 40 Under 40 series will return next week, this time focusing on the marketing sector.

Over two series to date, 40 Under 40 has showcased the top young talent working in the Irish advertising and public relations sectors.

In the next few months, BusinessPlus.ie will feature 40 of the leading young professionals in the marketing industry, as identified by dmg media.

The honourees will share their interests, their best advice and reasons why they love their profession, along with a biography detailing their career achievements to date.

"The decisions made by marketing professionals are crucial for their organisations' success," said Karl Byrne, group head of sales at dmg media Ireland.

"We are fortunate to have a wealth of young marketing talent in this country, and we are excited to recognise their contributions."

The 40 professionals featured in the PR series were honoured with awards at an event that took place at the dmg media Ireland hub in Dublin last week, attended by leading industry figures.

Dr Martina Byrne of the PRII was in attendance and congratulated each of the winners on their awards.

"You are all being recognised for your achievements to date, but with that comes a responsibility," Byrne said.

"There will be people coming up behind you on the ladder, and your role now is to put out a hand and help them up."

The first nominees from the marketing sector will be published on BusinessPlus.ie on Friday, April 4th.
