Holmes Report 22 Sep 2013 // 11:06PM GMT
MIAMI—The Holmes Report’s 50 best public relations campaigns of the past year—selected from more than 4,000 entries to our SABRE Awards competitions around the world—will be honored at a gala dinner in Miami on November 13, taking place at the culmination of the second Global Public Relations Summit.
The Global SABRE Awards dinner will recognize the 50 campaigns that scored the highest marks from judges in the Americas, EMEA, Asia-Pacific and India—each of which now has its own SABRE Awards competition.
“These campaigns were outstanding in their categories, outstanding in their regions, and outstanding when measured against the vast number of entries we see in our SABRE Awards competitions around the world,” says Paul Holmes, editor and publisher of The Holmes Report and chair of the SABRE Awards judges.
“There’s no other public relations awards competition that draws nearly so many entries, and so these campaigns can truly claim to be the best of the best, showcasing excellence in consumer marketing, corporate reputation, public affairs, internal communications, financial communications, and corporate responsibility across multiple industries.”
Tickets for the Global SABRE dinner and the Global Public Relations Summit can be reserved now.
