The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) has announced the results of the 2014 CIPR Excellence Awards with Brands2Life, M&C Saatchi PR and Diabetes UK just some of the companies scooping up awards.

Outstanding Public Relations Consultancy, Stripe Communications.

The ceremony, which took place last night in central London, recognised outstanding public relations talent across the country, with a third of the trophies being handed out to public relations teams, consultancies and individuals from outside London, including two of the three major team prizes.

Glasgow-based Stripe Communications claimed the Outstanding Public Relations Consultancy prize – the first Scottish consultancy to do so – Manchester’s SkyParlour PR won the title of Outstanding Small Consultancy for its m-commerce and e-commerce work, while BDO, the world's fifth largest accountancy and business advisory firm, took away the award for Outstanding In-house Public Relations Team.

Markettiers4dc took away the most trophies of the night, scooping three awards including Best Broadcast Campaign for their work with Slater & Gordon, and the Healthcare Campaign award (alongside Pegasus) for client Bayer Animal Health, which also picked up the Best Use of Research, Planning, Measurement and Evaluation prize.

CIPR President Stephen Waddington MCIPR commented: “The standard of winners and strength of the competition tonight are proof that there has never been such an exciting time to work in public relations, wherever you are in the UK.

“Our reputation as a profession is built by the kinds of campaigns, teams and professionals receiving these accolades. Congratulations to the winners; they should be proud that their award-winning expertise plays a key role, and delivers business benefit, within every area of a modern organisation.”

Another multiple-winner on the night was Brands2Life which won Best Event and Consumer Relations Campaign. M&C Saatchi PR also received dual recognition by claiming the Corporate and Business Communications Campaign and Best Technology Campaign awards for ‘The world’s first smartwatch bank’ for client Intelligent Environment.

Sally Aston of Diabetes UK and Karen Tippett-Lehane MCIPR were highlighted for their individual expertise, earning the titles of Outstanding Young Communicator and Outstanding Freelance Practitioner awards respectively.
