Thursday night saw the Oxygen Influencers classes of 2024 and 2025 face off for tipples and target practice.
Some 24 of the 50 Influencers across both years descended on Clays in Soho to celebrate their inclusion in the prestigious list.
Created in partnership with Nebula Global Services, Oxygen Influencers highlights the people driving positive industry change, but from outside the boardroom.
You can read the 2025 report here, and 2024 version here.
Among those grabbing a gun last Thursday was a teacher-turned-top-tech seller, a channel social media influencer, and the past and current winners of the Channel Reality Show.
Also giving it their best shots were a gaggle of channel pros making an impact in areas such as ESG, DEI, schools outreach and free mentoring (see full list of attendees, bottom).
Who was top gun? Although too much champagne obscured our vision of the leaderboard, we hear that Telefonica Tech’s Tiffany Nelson and FGS’ Ted Stroud were among the sharpest shooters.
