BCW, Edelman, Ketchum, Hill & Knowlton and Weber Shandwick are the five finalists for 2024 EMEA Regional Consultancy of the Year (Large), alongside another 91 firms that have been shortlisted today across a further 19 categories.

The EMEA Consultancies of the Year awards again represent unrivalled independent analysis of the region's best firms, across geographic categories and in specific disciplines. From giant multinationals to small local specialists — they are nominated and analyzed across the 20 Consultancy of the Year categories.

The Regional Consultancy of the Year (Midsize) category recognizes those firms with smaller networks across the EMEA region. The five finalists are Allison, Finn Partners, Havas Red, Porter Novelli, and SEC Newgate.

Profiles of all the nominated firms, featuring in-depth analysis of each consultancy's performance across specific metrics, can be found here.

The selections are the result of an exhaustive research process involving more than 200 submissions, calls, and face-to-face meetings with the best PR firms across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Winners are unveiled at the 2024 EMEA SABRE Awards, taking place in London on 17 April.
