Ahead of the awards ceremony in November, the shortlist for the PRCA Awards 2015 has been announced.

The list recognises a range of in-house and agency communications teams who have delivered innovative and influential campaigns that demonstrate the potential for public relations to have a dramatic impact on an organisation’s reputation and success.

Categories recognise projects depending on sector, the circumstances they were conducted within and how they delivered on that challenge and on the nature of the project itself with regards to the process used. There are also awards for individuals in the ‘Consultancy head of the year award’, the ‘In-house professional of the year award’, the ‘Mark Mellor outstanding contribution award’ and the ‘Young communicator of the year award’; the nominees of which are Evie Jeffreys at British Library, Ben Fletcher at FleishmanHillard, Tom Roche at Forster Communications, Jessica Beales at Midnight Communications, Andrew Barratt at Ogilvy Public Relations and Katie Bregazzi at Spottydog Communications.

Large, medium-sized and smaller agencies have been shortlisted, as well as in-house communications teams from both the private and public sector. Campaigns range from B2B to consumer-facing and from high to low-budget. Winners will be selected by a panel of expert judges which includes communications professionals from Coca-Cola, Intel Security, Telefonica O2 UK and Toyota GB.

Francis Ingham, director general of the PRCA, says, “We’ve seen a fantastic crop of entries for this year’s PRCA Awards. The very best of luck to all of those shortlisted – I look forward to seeing you all on the awards night.”
