We’re back in town…

Black Cliff Media are once again delighted to sponsor the Chartered Institute of Public Relations PRide Awards, which will be taking place at the Macdonald Burlington Hotel, Birmingham.

This year brings with it a wealth of talent and creativity from the Midlands and we are thrilled to be announcing 1st and 2nd prizes to the forthcoming winning nominees from the ‘Best Use of Content’ and ‘Public Sector Campaign’ categories.

Last year proved that the Midlands is home to some of the most progressive thinking PR agencies who demonstrated a host of well designed, innovative and superbly choreographed campaigns – offerings which capitalised on effectively using a range of media platforms and strategies to not only hit the mark but also raise the bar.

This year guarantees to be as promising with a broad and diverse spectrum of highly polished entries taking centre stage. Here’s a brief glance at this year’s nominations.
