ABOUT
In recent times, Agency Reporter has been at the helm of launching initiatives and platforms that applaud prestigious work as well as thought leaders from the advertising, marketing, and communications sector.
Our latest initiative- PR and Communications Excellence Awards, is an ode to communications professionals who have transformed businesses by illustrating their best strategies and skills, especially over the last year.
The aim behind the PR and Communications Excellence Awards is to acknowledge and recognize the contribution of communications heads/ professionals, and agencies that have been successful in bringing about valuable change in the communications sector.
We look forward to celebrating and felicitating excellence of work and success stories of individuals and organizations that have redefined the PR and communications industry in India.
