Each year, PRNEWS recognizes the agencies that turn client wins into great PR and honors the organizations that epitomize work-life balance, advocate for diversity and inclusion all the while giving back to the community. The 2019 Top Places to Work and Agency Elite Awards Luncheon brought together PR professionals, marketers and communicators to celebrate the accomplishments of their colleagues.

Attendees enjoyed an afternoon of networking and celebration, while listening to a keynote by Deirdre Breakenridge. Deirdre discussed how people in PR can tap into the kind of communication that builds unbreakable bonds. She also discussed her research and development of FEEL First, a model for empathetic intergenerational communication with PRNEWS’ Nicole Schuman.
