PR News Announces Digital PR Awards Finalists

Even grizzled public relations veterans must now agree: Digital PR is an integral—and required—component of communications initiatives, as audiences engage with multiple digital platforms, be it Facebook, Twitter, Web sites, YouTube and more. The following 2011 Digital PR Awards finalists have produced state-of-the-art communications initiatives, and PR News is proud to honor the organizations and people behind them. Their efforts will be profiled in our annual Digital PR Awards special issue, and all finalists will be celebrated at our Digital PR Awards luncheon at New York’s Grand Hyatt on Oct. 4, 2011. For sponsorship opportunities, please contact Diane Schwartz at [email protected].
