2026 Ones To Watch - Rising Stars: Talia Horwich, The Berman Group

“Talia embodies everything you hope to find in a rising professional: curiosity, determination, and an unwavering commitment to growth. Watching her career develop has been one of the most rewarding parts of my time at Berman Group. She consistently pushes herself outside of her comfort zone, embraces every challenge as an opportunity to learn, and approaches her work with thoughtfulness and care. I could not be more proud of the professional she has become.” 

What inspired you to pursue a career in your industry, and what path brought you to your current role?
My path into real estate communications was anything but traditional. I originally studied music business and discovered public relations while exploring different corners of the industry. After working in communications for Grammy Award-winning artists and nonprofits, including the Otis Redding Foundation, I was drawn to real estate PR through my mother, who worked in the field. Joining Berman Group allowed me to combine my passion for storytelling with an industry I had long admired.

What accomplishment or project so far in your career are you most proud of?
One of the accomplishments I am most proud of is helping mission-driven organizations use media to create meaningful community impact. Working with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and the New York City Economic Development Corporation, I have secured coverage that elevated initiatives focused on housing, economic development, and neighborhood revitalization. Through broadcast opportunities with outlets including PIX11 and News 12, I have helped these organizations reach broader audiences and amplify programs that benefit communities across New York City.
