Entries have today opened for Mumbrella’s awards for the communication, public relations and social media industry the CommsCon Awards.
Now in its third year, the CommsCon Awards have been extended with an increased emphasis on celebrating the role of in-house public relations teams, with 2015 being the first year that the awards will now recognise the best in-house PR team of the year.
The 2015 CommsCon Awards awards will also highlight the growing importance of using owned media assets as part of a comprehensive media strategy with a new award recognising excellence by PR professionals in the best use of owned media.
Building on the success of last year there will be categories that recognise the importance of PR leadership and new talent along with Australasia’s best in-house and agency PR professionals.
