Announcing PR Daily’s 2017 Video & Visual Awards finalists

We found the year’s best internal videos and designs, marketing videos, series and web designs. We’re excited to name the finalists of PR Daily’s 2017 Video & Visual Awards.

Our judges selected these finalists from more than 80 submissions to find the best visual content from around the world. Next, the judges will review this pool of finalists to name the category winners of PR Daily’s 2017 Video & Visual Awards.
