PR News lists 15 up-and-coming "PR thought leaders" under the age of 35 whom the publication has singled out in the competitive and high-profile industry of public relations.

In its assessment of the 15 to Watch, PR News writes, "Like every other high-profile industry, public relations has its phenoms. In determining the 2005 class of up-and-coming PR thought leaders, PR News drilled down into a staggering number of nominations to choose the winners of its annual '15 To Watch,' those PR professionals 35 years old and younger who are making names for themselves and their clients coast to coast."

About Rosales Greenwood, PR News states, "she bucked the traditional agency mold, starting Activa as a virtual agency and also cultivating non-tech markets including financial services and management consulting. Four years later, the agency has grown from a one-person consultancy to a boutique with several senior-level execs serving a burgeoning list of clients."

"When I started Activa PR in 2001, my focus was on producing results-oriented PR, and that has remained our guiding mission. It's an honor to be recognized by our clients and PR News for the success that we've had in realizing that original vision," said Marina Rosales Greenwood, principal and founder, Activa PR.
