BEIJING—Twelve different firms from across the region will be recognized for the quality of their content creation at the first Asia-Pacific In2 Summit, which takes place at the St Regis Hotel in Beijing on the day of the SABRE Awards dinner, September 18.
The In2 SABREs recognize a wide range of content, from experiential to digital, across multiple channels: paid, earned, owned and shared. This year’s competition attracted 200 entries in 15 categories.
According to Holmes Report editor Paul Holmes, who chaired the awards jury: “What we are seeing, in Asia as elsewhere, is an astonishingly wide range of content coming out of public relations agencies, including content that might traditionally have been produced in ad agencies or digital shops, or by specialist production companies. The quality of this work is improving, and this year’s In2 SABREs were the most competitive to date.”
China’s Blue Focus (including its Phluency Interactive unit), MSLGroup, and Ogilvy Public Relations all won two In2 awards. The others were shared among nine other firms.
Tickets and tables for both the In2 Summit and awards presentation, and the SABRE Awards ceremony in the evening, can be purchased here.
