Announcing PR Daily’s 2017 Media Relations Awards finalists

Making the most of your media connections is only part of a PR pro’s recipe for success. Landing coverage from just one high-profile media outlet can change the game for your organization. The brands and agencies that entered PR Daily’s 2017 Media Relations Awards worked tirelessly to get their message out into the world.

We’re honoring the most impressive videos, press events, thought leadership campaigns, crisis management case studies and more.

Our judges reviewed more than 130 submissions to find the best in media relations from around the world. Next, the judges will review this pool of finalists to name the category winners of PR Daily’s 2017 Media Relations Awards. The PRDaily.com Special Edition announcing all the winners will be released in late July.

The PR Daily staff congratulates all our finalists and wishes you the best of luck in the final round of judging!
