Bristol public relations firms in running for region’s top PR accolades

By

The cream of Bristol’s public relations industry will go head to head later this month at this year’s hotly-contested 2013 CIPR South West PRide Awards.

The awards, which this year celebrate their 10th anniversary, showcase the best work from the region’s public relations agencies, in-house teams, individuals and campaigns. They are widely regarded as the most prestigious and rigorous awards of their kind.

Commenting on the PRide shortlist, chair of CIPR South West Sarah Pinch said: “The CIPR South West PRide Awards celebrate the very best in public relations from across our region. We were delighted to receive an increase in entries and they were all of an incredibly high standard. The entries highlighted the industry leading work that is taking place and we should be proud of the work of our colleagues in PR and communications. I offer my congratulations to all of those who have been shortlisted for an award; their success demonstrates their exemplary achievements in such a thriving profession.”

The top award, for Outstanding Public Relations Consultancy, is a four-way fight between Bristol firms Inside Media, PamLloyds PR and Octane and Cheltenham’s Camargue. Inside Media is also in the running for Outstanding Small Consultancy.

The awards take place on November 22 at the The Bristol Hotel, Harbourside, Bristol.
