Best way to cue multiple lower thirds? (Name plates)

What is the best way to display multiple lower thirds (still images) in order?
I have an ATEM and hyperdeck, and I would like to display 30+ attendees' names and job titles in order when the announcer cues. I don't want to go to the ATEM software or hyperdeck and load the media one by one... I know I can do it in the OBS/ ventuz, but is there anything I can buy/ use to do this job easily at the switcher level?
Thanks

Which ATEM do you have? On the larger models you can turn a knob or use a select button to change which graphic in the pool is selected and show via a DSK. You can't seem to do this in any of the ATEM minis
Other option is to drag and drop them into the live Media feed and replace/overwrite the previous one

We use an ultrastudio with New Blue Titler. You can use a stream deck to cue the titles. The software imports Excel spreadsheets so you don't even have to type

Thank you for your reply. The problem is sometimes I have over 50 name tags to cue....

Thanks for the information. Don't have 299 to spend on this software right now :(

I am using google spreadsheet data to feed an InDesign template and export all pages as a PowerPoint to add transition, then use the atem luma key to remove the background and cue.
