"Having a well-respected, marketing-focused platform like The Drum create an awards program specifically for PR speaks to both the power of PR as an engagement and reputation building discipline, and to the essential role PR plays as part of the marketing mix.
"With the remit of PR continuing to expand, and the lines blurring in terms of where PR ends and other marketing areas begin, I’m hoping to see work that reflects this change, that shows a broader vision of what PR can do, and draws a clear connection between the overarching business strategy, and the results achieved."
