PRWeek announces first Global Awards & Congress

The power of the PR industry is a key factor in the growth of global business, and communications is the one discipline that operates across different stakeholder groups and communities. It helps companies tell their stories to new markets and audiences using every available channel.

The PRWeek Global Awards honor the transformative work that crosses borders, building brands and trust, and enabling the growth of international enterprise. It is the only awards program that benchmarks the most important work stretching across multiple markets around the world.

The winners will be those brands and organizations that produce transformational work and run first-rate communications of all kinds.

PRWeek will celebrate the winners at a two-day event in mid-May 2014 (date and location TBA), which will include a conference featuring case studies from the shortlisted entries, as well as the launch of PRWeek’s global Hall of Fame. Much more than just an awards show, the global conference will be the convening ground for global best practice and groundbreaking work in international public relations.
