Rockville, Md., August 21, 2012 -- PR News will be honoring top digital PR initiatives and the people behind them at the Digital PR Awards Luncheon on October 1, 2012 at the Grand Hyatt in New York City. The finalists of the Digital PR Awards set the industry benchmark for excellence across all areas of digital PR. Finalists represent those organizations that took risks, made tremendous strides and understand the power of digital communications in public relations.
Frank Eliason, author Senior Vice President of Social Media at Citibank’s, has been described as the “most famous customer service manager in the U.S., possibly the world.” By expanding the reach of customer service via social media, and taking the simple approach of asking "Can we help?” he repositioned the relationship between Comcast and its customers. His efforts at Comcast inspired a global wave of innovation in the way businesses communicate and engage with their customers—using new communication channels to improve customer experience.
The winners and honorable mentions of the industry known Digital PR Awards will be celebrated at a luncheon on October 1, 2012, at the Grand Hyatt in New York City from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m..
