This work helped organizations and shoppers alike inform well timed tales and create significant messages throughout worldwide crises, home disasters and the whole lot in between.
Ragan’s PR Day by day Awards celebrates the PR execs, entrepreneurs, companies and campaigns that stand out and have interaction audiences in an age of uncertainty and distraction.
All finalists can be acknowledged — and class winners can be introduced — throughout a particular occasion at New York Metropolis’s Edison Ballroom as a part of Communications Week.
Congratulations to all nominees and finalists.
