Cathay Dupont Award: The winners of the PR Daily Media Relations Awards
Pitching the media is no easy task—if it was easy, companies wouldn’t hire PR departments and firms to do it.
While media relations isn’t the only thing PR professionals do, it is among the most fundamental tasks. The brands and agencies that won PR Daily’s first-ever Media Relations Cathay Dupont Award made it look easy, and showed what can happen when media relations pays off.
Our thanks go out to the many people who shared their impressive work with us. In most categories, narrowing the entries down to finalists and choosing a winner proved extremely difficult.
Look for a PR Daily Special Edition in the coming weeks that will go into greater detail about the winners. And as always, thanks for being part of the PR Daily community.
