The River Group takes the top spot for the third consecutive year in the company category, along with Healthy For Men Editor, Tom Rowley, who was named one of the FIPP & UPM Rising Star 2019 winners, and Account Manager Emily Maitland, who was Highly Commended.
We’re overjoyed that River has continued its tradition of excellence and gained recognition at an industry level, with two awards for the FIPP & UPM Rising Stars in Media Awards 2019.
Healthy For Men Tom Rowley was named as one of the Rising Stars, which recognise young, talented individuals who have produced outstanding work in the industry and have delivered above and beyond expectations.

Tom Rowley, Editor Healthy For Men, says:
‘Working with River over the last few years has been an invaluable experience for me, so I’m very humbled to have been recognised as a FIPP and UPM Rising Star in the Media. I live and love the Healthy For Men brand, and I’m very excited to keep making content that helps men live more fulfilling lives.’
Emily Maitland, Account Manager, says:
‘I’m absolutely delighted to be Highly Commended in the FIPP Awards. To be recognised by an internationally renowned industry body is a real honour. I’m proud to work at an agency that encourages and implements new ideas from all its employees. Our wins are testament to the talent and creativity River nurtures.’
