A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR



"Competition for talent in the PR industry remains fierce, so there's never been a more important time to shout about your credentials as a great employer. 

PRWeek's Best Places to Work Awards is the perfect way to do just that. With seven specialist categories alongside the usual Gold awards, there are plenty of ways to prove that your organisation is among the sector's best workplaces."
