Celebrating the best PR across East Anglia, Thames and Chiltern

More than 130 PR professionals gathered at The Guildhall in Cambridge last night for the CIPR PRide Awards – the region’s annual public relations showpiece.

Big Wave PR & Royal British Legion and CPL & Cambridgeshire County Council were the big winners of the night, taking home two Gold Awards each.

CPL & Cambridgeshire County Council scooped the Gold Awards in both the Public Sector Campaign and Regional Campaign of the Year categories for their innovative campaign to recruit more reablement workers, resulting in more people being able to live independently in Cambridgeshire.

PRIME Research’s Policy Account Manager Jennifer Sanchis MCIPR was named Outstanding Young Communicator. Judges commended Jennifer for “making an impact to the reputation of the PR profession, pushing back on AVEs and educating clients on better measurement approaches”.
