Howorth Honoured in Global PR Awards

Howorth was an honourable finalist for the Livewire launch campaign in the category of community relations at the 2009 Platinum PR Awards held in New York yesterday.

The Platinum PR Awards provide PR professionals the opportunity to showcase their best communications initiatives of the year and salute outstanding performance by individuals. Presented by PR News, the highly competitive program honours the best PR campaigns and initiatives of the year.

In the same awards, Ogilvy PR was named 2009 Large Agency of the Year. This award evaluated agencies against four key criteria: business development, people, network initiatives and cohesion, and external thought leadership. Ogilvy was recognised for its strong performance in a tough economy, impressive new business wins across multiple markets, and innovative and award-winning work for clients. This accolade follows on the heels of an impressive year of recognitions including being named Large Agency of the Year by The Holmes Report, PRWeek’s Editor’s Choice “Agency to Watch” and Bronze Award for PRWeek Global Firm of the Year.
