PRWeek is proud to announce the shortlist for its first ever PRWeek Global Awards.
The PRWeek Global Awards honor the transformative work that crosses borders, builds brands and trust, and enables the growth of international enterprise. It is the only awards program set up to benchmark the most important work that spans multiple markets around the world. The presentation will take place in Barcelona on May 15 at the Gran Hotel Princesa Sofia, in conjunction with the PRWeek Global Congress.
The Global Congress focuses on how PR drives global business objectives, specifically via three key tracks: reputation, culture and brand. The Congress will explore these key themes through case studies and frank, in-depth discussions with invited speakers. Speakers include Andrew Grill, global partner, social business at IBM; Danielle Restivo, senior PR manager, global programs, LinkedIn; Chris Hogg, deputy head of corporate media relations at Nestlé; and Veronica Botet, global digital and social media PR manager, GE Healthcare. The PRWeek Global Congress takes place on May 15-16.
