Cork PR agency AM O'Sullivan PR and Dublin agency Edelman have won Agency Of The Year awards at the annual Excellence in Public Relations awards organised by trade bodies PRCA and the PRII.
The awards were presented online due to lockdown restrictions. In total, 26 awards were presented to recognise the best work in public relations and communication in both the private and public sectors.
Fifty-seven organisations entered 186 campaigns covering everything from Irish food brands to regional tourism, from encouraging fostering to helping the homeless, from gender diversity and equality to broadband on offshore islands.
Ann-Marie O’Sullivan (pictured), founder of AM O'Sullivan PR, commented: “We are already recognised as an agency of choice for strategic communications, issue and crisis management, particularly in the Munster region, and we recently project managed the first virtual public consultation in Ireland for a significant planning application on behalf of a client.”
