We are delighted to announce there will be an opportunity to meet the ReelWorld Radio Academy 30 Under 30 Class of 2019, at Drive to Digital 2019.
The ReelWorld Radio Academy 30 Under 30 celebrates the UK radio and audio industry’s most promising young professionals. Now in its seventh year, the national search identifies the most talented and exceptional future stars of radio spanning all areas of the industry.
The 30 outstanding individuals who comprise the Class of 2019 will be brought together for the first time at Drive to Digital and their collective achievements will be recognised and celebrated in a special moment within the conference.
Making the shortlist is an outstanding achievement and can act as a great career platform for the future.
Anthony Gay, Managing Director of ReelWorld, said:
“We get a huge buzz from celebrating bright young radio and audio talent who are shaping the future of our industry, that’s why it’s an honour for ReelWorld to be supporting the 30 Under 30 initiative for a 6th year. UK radio has changed beyond recognition during those six years but the power of sound to engage audiences only grows stronger. It’s great to see radio talent leading the revolution as more and more people re-connect with audio. Those on 2019’s record breaking 30 under 30 list are at the forefront of that revolution.There’s a thrilling optimism around audio right now and it’s exciting for ReelWorld to play a part in crafting the sound of the UK’s biggest radio brands as well as support the future of our industry.”
Ford Ennals, CEO Digital Radio UK, said:
“The UK radio and audio landscape is healthy and vibrant but it’s moving fast with fundamental changes in consumer behaviour and new ways of listening. That’s why it’s so important the radio industry recognises the next generation of leaders and that’s exactly what the Radio Academy’s 30 under 30 does. We are looking forward to bringing the 30 under 30 Class of 2019 together and celebrating this unique group on the stage at industry conference Drive to Digital at the British Library on 30 October.”
