MUMBAI: US-based Bulldog Reporter, a renowned journal for
communications professionals, has announced a partnership with Concept PR, a division of Concept
Group, for the launching of its signature Bulldog
Awards in India.
Bulldog Reporter
is a leader in media intelligence, supplying news, analysis and high-level
training content to public relations and corporate communications professionals
for 35 years, with the mission of helping these practitioners achieve superior
competitive performance. The Bulldog Awards celebrate corporate communications
and public relations strategic and tactical prowess at the highest level. The Bulldog Awards is the only PR awards
program to be judged exclusively by working journalists hailing from some of
the best-respected news sources. The five annual awards programs have
always been open to international organizations and agencies, garnering
submissions from global agencies in Germany, Poland, Canada and the UK. Now,
Indian communications professionals will also have an opportunity to showcase
their work and talent, and compete globally.
Chris Morrison, President of MediaMiser, an affiliate
of Bulldog Reporter, said, “There is so much incredible talent in India that is worthy of global
recognition through Bulldog Awards. We look forward to seeing some of the great
PR campaigns coming out of that country entered into our programs and
witnessing new and innovative ways Indian agencies are reaching their goals in
that market.”
Announcing this exciting
partnership Ashish Jalan, Director and
CEO, Concept PR said, “The Indian PR industry is
at the cusp of a new and interesting phase where traditional and new media are
equally dominant. At the same time, Indian communications professionals are
breaking barriers with their extraordinary and innovative ideas. In this
context, we are extremely happy to partner with Bulldog Reporter to introduce
the Bulldog Awards in India and are confident that with our strong media
relations, we can create a good benchmark for the media industry and the PR fraternity
at large.”
The first awards program to be introduced to PR professionals in
India will be the 2016
Bulldog Stars of PR Awards. This program rewards agencies and
individuals in the communications arena who are deserving of recognition for
their outstanding talent. The program launched globally on Tuesday, August 9,
2016. There are thirty-two categories available to enter and win, with early-bird
pricing in effect until September 9, 2016, and a final deadline of October 21,
