Propel determines this list based on a detailed scan and analysis of globally based Twitter users. The company uses a set of metrics including follower count, engagement rate, overall content relevance to PR and more to do so. It prioritizes diversity and makes certain that the final list will include top in-house professionals from around the globe.
Born in Zimbabwe, Anil subsequently moved to the UK and embarked on a career in PR, marketing and communications in the early 1990s. He has worked in the industry for almost 30 years and joined CMI in January, where he was recruited to establish an in-house PR capability.

This is fantastic news and we’re delighted to have Anil as part of our team. At CMI we pride ourselves on bringing out the best in all our staff and promoting a culture where people can thrive and Anil plays an important role in helping us achieve that. Anil only joined us in January when he began establishing our in-house media team. For him to be recognised in this way is not just a huge honour for him but also for the CMI family.
