2014 CIPR PRide Awards shortlists announced
More than 350 of the UK’s leading public relations teams, consultancies and individuals have made the shortlists of the 2014 CIPR PRide Awards, the UK’s premier awards scheme that recognises excellence in public relations and communications work across Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and six English regions.
Of the shortlisted organisations, Smarts Communicate (Northern Ireland), Cool Blue Brand Communications (North East), and McCann PR (Midlands), led the way being shortlisted 16, 14, and 10 times respectively, in their corresponding regions.
This is a special year for the CIPR PRide Awards after making some important changes to enhance the Awards' integrity through merging some of our smaller regions into bigger and better competitions. As a result, we have seen an even higher standard of entries across the board in all categories. I would like to congratulate those of you who have been recognised for your outstanding work by making this year’s shortlists. I look forward to celebrating the best that British public relations has to offer at our awards evenings this autumn.
