IAS B2B PR has been shortlisted for six Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) Awards, including Outstanding PR Consultancy.
The respected trade body’s annual PRide awards programme recognises the very best in PR strategy, planning, implementation and results across the regions. IAS B2B Marketing has won a CIPR ‘gong’ every year since 2006 and its success in the 2011 North West heats is further testament to the integrated agency’s standing alongside some of the most prevalent agencies on the Manchester PR scene.
“As the only integrated agency to feature in the coveted Outstanding PR Consultancy category, we’re showing so-called ‘pure PR’ evangelists that we’re specialists in our own right,” says IAS Head of PR, Paul Myerscough. “Our strike rate across the marketing, PR and digital industry awards flies in the face of anyone who may cast aspersions on the capabilities of the full service model when it comes to excelling in individual areas.
“The PR team has done brilliantly well once again – not least our Senior Account Manager, Nikki Poyser, who is deservedly in the running for the very personal accolade of Outstanding Young Communicator.”
Nikki joined IAS as a Graduate in 2007 and has risen through the ranks during her four years with the agency, immersing herself in all things social media. Her digital communications know-how played an instrumental part in the success of a Kingspan campaign targeting architects, which has been shortlisted for ‘Best Use of Social Media’ as well as in the ‘Integrated Communications’ and ‘Best Website’ categories.
The final nomination comes for IAS B2B PR’s work with fleet management company, Lex Autolease (a subsidiary of Lloyds Banking Group plc).
Winners of the North West PRide Awards 2011 will be announced on the 23rd November at the Hilton hotel on Deansgate, Manchester.
