The Public Relations Global Network (PRGN) announced winners of its 2021 Best Practice Awards today in an online Awards Gala ceremony attended virtually by member agencies from across the globe.
In the tenth year of PRGN’s awards program, member agencies submitted close to 110 entries on client work, agency promotion and campaigns into 22 categories, ensuring that the global best of the bests were awarded golden, silver and bronze awards.
“At the end of every year, the PRGN Awards is a true celebration of strategic thinking, creative ideas and outstanding work done by our member agencies,” said PRGN President, Alexandra Dinita. “Offering the chance to review more than one hundred different campaigns from across the globe, our annual Awards program is also a top opportunity for knowledge exchange and offers inspiration and ideas for future work the agencies do for their clients.”
Winners represented each of PRGN’s geographic groups.
The highest number of awards – two gold, two silver and three bronzes – were presented to Asia-Pacific member agency Perspective Strategies (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). Representing the EMEA region is Spider (London, UK), with a total of six awards – two each from gold, silver and bronze – while Ghidotti (Little Rock, Arkansas) also brought home six trophies – one silver and five bronzes – for the Americas region.
