It’s heartening to see PR professionals spearhead organisational efforts to engage on key societal issues; from malnutrition to children’s literacy and gender inequality. Our work makes a genuine impact on society, just as it does on business. The next time you hear the value of PR questioned, point to these winners as an example of the exceptional contribution our industry delivers for its clients and organisations. Congratulations to each and every one of our winners and shortlisted entrants.”
