MIAMI—Multinational public relations firms Cohn & Wolfe, Edelman, FleishmanHillard, Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, and Weber Shandwick are The Holmes Report’s five finalists for Global Agency of the Year recognition. The winner will be announced at the Global SABRE Awards ceremony, which takes place as part of the Global Public Relations Summit in Miami next month.

The Holmes Report has also selected finalists in eight specialist categories—consumer, corporate, creative, digital, financial, healthcare, public affairs and technology—as well as for a New Consultancy of the Year category.

Those firms are drawn from 10 markets around the world—from the US to Norway to India—and were selected from among our Agency of the Year honorees in the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific. The 2015 Global PR Agencies of the Year are the result of an exhaustive research process involving more than 400 submissions and face-to-face meetings with the best PR firms around the world.

Profiles of all the nominated agencies can be found here.

The winners will be announced at our Global SABRE Awards dinner in Miami on October 28, which will also recognize the 40 best public relations campaigns from around the world this year. Those Global SABRE Awards winners will be announced later this week.

The Global SABRE Awards dinner is part of the Global Public Relations Summit. Tickets for both events can be reserved here.
