Edelman has won Large Regional Consultancy of the Year honours at the 2024 EMEA SABRE Awards, which took place in London last night. The award caps the second time that the world's biggest PR firm has won EMEA Network of the Year honours in the past three years.
Edelman prevailed over a shortlist that also featured last year's winner Hill & Knowlton, along with BCW, Ketchum and Weber Shandwick. During a tough year for the industry in general, Edelman's impressive EMEA growth of 8% was led by strong showings from its Middle East, UK and financial operations, alongside continued excellent performance from its innovation, digital and creative teams.
Havas Red was named winner of the Midsize Network of the Year category, ahead of Allison, Finn Partners, Porter Novelli, and SEC Newgate.
In addition to H+K and Golin, a further 18 firms were selected for Consultancy of the Year honours, following unrivalled independent analysis of the region's best firms, across geographic categories and in specific disciplines.
