Brian Hart has been named an honoree of PR News’ 2017 Rising PR Stars 30 & Under Awards, an annual program that celebrates young professionals whose passion and ingenuity are an inspiration in the workplace and in the communications field.

Hart, founder and president of national public relations and digital marketing agency Flackable and weekly online columnist for Inc. Magazine, earns this recognition following his agency’s move to Philadelphia in April. Prior to the move, Hart was featured on the 2016 Lehigh Valley Business Forty Under 40 list, and in 2015 he was one of Adweek’s PR Industry 30 Under 30 honorees.

“I share this award with my amazing team,” said Hart. “When you’re surrounded by the level talent and ambition we have here at Flackable, it makes recognition like this possible.”

The agency, which he founded in 2014 at the age of 27, serves a national client base of financial and professional services firms.

“When I launched Flackable, I recognized that the traditional public relations model was antiquated and unfit to properly serve growth-minded firms in the New Media Age,” said Hart. “Today we’re setting the standard for modern communications through our integrated approach to public relations, digital marketing, content development and website design.”

Honorees will be recognized at PR News’ PR People Awards Luncheon on December 5th in Washington, D.C. In addition to Flackable, other 2017 Rising Stars represent national organizations including Allstate Insurance Company, CBS News, Edelman, PayPal, Ruder Finn, Southwest Airlines, TD Bank and Weber Shandwick.
