The Public Relations Consultants Association (PRCA), which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, has presented its annual awards for Excellence in PR.
Among the award winners was Louise Walsh from Drury Porter Novelli (pictured below), who won the award for Young Communications Professional of the Year.
Association chairperson Rhona Blake commented: “We are indebted to our PRCA predecessors who recognised that competing to be the best, promoting best practice, professional standards and the pursuit of excellence was the way forward. This week the European Communications Monitor highlighted the importance of the public relations profession in helping organisations deal with the impact of fake news, protecting reputation and regaining public trust.”
