Howorth named as finalist in Asia Pacific SABRE Awards

Howorth is enjoying a rich vein of form with award entries this year, and that run continues with the company being informed today that it is a finalist in the inaugural Asia Pacific SABRE Awards, which attracted close to 400 entries this year.

Howorth’s work with Microsoft has been announced as best program in the technology sector in the Technology category.

In addition to Howorth, Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide turned in an impressive performance with 16 finalists, 13 of which came from Ogilvy PR Australia (eight nominations for Pulse Communications, three for our employee communication specialists Impact, and one for Cannings).

Paul Holmes, editor of The Holmes Report and chairman of the SABRE Awards judges, said: “We were delighted with the quality of the entrants we received in our first Asia-Pacific SABRE Awards competition. The SABRE competition now sees the best work being done in North America, EMEA and the Asia-Pacific, and it is clear that the best work in Asia is now every bit as well-planned, well-executed and well-measured as the best work anywhere in the world.”

Winners of the 2009 competition will be announced in two weeks.
