NEW YORK, Sept. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Weber Shandwick,
one of the world's leading global communications and engagement
firms, has been honored with the top ranking on The Holmes
Report's 2017 Global Creative Index, marking the second time in
three years that the agency has been recognized as the industry's
leading creative firm. Weber Shandwick's "Daughters of Mother
India" campaign with filmmaker Vibha
Bakshi also earned top honors as the most-awarded PR program
of the past 12 months.
The Global Creative Index is The Holmes Report's annual
benchmark of creative excellence in PR, ranking work and campaigns
from more than 25 leading public relations, digital and marketing
awards programs around the globe. According to The Holmes
Report, the rankings this year factored in the "expansion of
public relations work across multiple categories of
advertising-oriented programs, such as Cannes Lions, recognizing
agencies designated for 'idea-creation.'"
"Creativity is at the core of our business. It's not just about
big ideas; we're focused on ideas that create impact, earn
attention and engagement, and help move our clients' businesses
forward," said Andy Polansky, Chief
Executive Officer, Weber Shandwick. "We're proud to once again be
recognized as a leader in creative excellence in what has clearly
become an increasingly integrated marketing services landscape. We
celebrate this honor with all of our colleagues and client partners
around the world."
"Daughters of Mother India" Recognized as Most-Awarded PR
Program of the Year
Weber Shandwick also earned recognition for its client
campaigns, including the most-awarded PR program of the year for
its work with filmmaker Vibha Bakshi
on the launch of the documentary "Daughters of Mother India," which
sheds light on the issue of rape and sexual violence against women
in India. The campaign engaged
police to sensitize India's
officers to the issue and inspire change, including the film being
added to the National Police Academy curriculum. "Daughters of
Mother India" was also named Campaign of the Year at the 2017
PRWeek Global Awards and was honored as a Top Campaign of
the Year at The Holmes Report's Global SABRE Awards in 2016.
The campaign was shortlisted at the 2016 Cannes Lions Festival of
Creativity in the Glass Lions category, which recognizes creative
work that addresses gender inequality, and the PR category.
Weber Shandwick has received numerous industry honors in 2017,
including being named Global Agency of the Year by PRWeek,
Asia Pacific's Network of the Year
by PR Awards Asia, an Agency A-List Standout by
Advertising Age, and North America Agency of the Year and
Pan-EMEA Consultancy of the Year by The Holmes Report.
