PR industry professionals attended London's Hilton Park Lane for the PRCA’s annual gala awards event.
FleishmanHillard Fishburn emerged as the Large and International Consultancy of the Year, just over a year after winning the same accolade at the PRWeek UK awards and in a year in which the PRCA cleared the agency of allegations of astroturfing.
The Medium Consultancy of the Year award was won by Hope&Glory, Small Consultancy of the Year was Ready10 and New Consultancy of the Year was The Agency Partnership.
Golin picked up the Diversity award, Greggs vegan sausage rolls and Harry Redknapp’s drive-thru spot for McDonald’s were also among the winners.
The individual awards went to Missive’s Julia Lavin (Young Communicator of the Year), Mischief’s Gemma Moroney (Leader of the Year) and The Academy Media Group’s Rachel Bell, who won the Mark Mellor Outstanding Contribution award.
