The Awards for Excellence in Public Relations 2024 were presented today (Friday 21 June) at a gala event in Dublin.
The Awards have been co-hosted by the Public Relations Consultants Association Ireland (PRCA) and the Public Relations Institute of Ireland (PRII) for over 30 years to recognise the best in Irish public relations, public affairs and internal communications across the public and private sectors.
This year saw the second highest ever number of entries, across a wide range of topics and organisations, from public health to Irish culture, and from environmental and technological innovation to combatting deprivation and social exclusion. The winning campaigns across twenty-four categories were selected from almost two hundred entries by in-house and agency teams.
