Scottish PR Awards

Posted on 26. Oct, 2009 by Andrew in PR

The Chartered Institute of Public Relations Scottish PR Awards was held last Friday. Congratulations to everyone who took part and especially to the winners. Interesting to note that there were no entries at all for the Public Affairs category. If you’ve done some Public Affairs PR in Scotland this year then you should be kicking yourself for not entering; you would have had an easy victory!
