CIPR unveils The CIPR Excellence Awards 2012 shortlist
The shortlist for The CIPR Excellence Awards 2012 has been revealed, with agencies such as Man Bites Dog, Umpf and Weber Shandwick Scotland receiving multiple nominations.
One-to-one interviews with the judging panel will now take place, before the finalists are announced on 28 May.
Jane Wilson, CEO of the CIPR, said: “To make the CIPR Excellence Awards shortlist is a statement of achievement for any individual or organisation. The sheer number of high quality entries received this year, especially when things are still pretty tough out there economically, is testament to a thriving industry. There really is no greater recognition of professionalism, creativity and hard work than to reach the final stages of the Excellence Awards.”
