Weber Shandwick wins in Europe

I am just back at my hotel from the European PR Awards in Venice and I could not feel prouder.

Weber Shandwick Belfast tonight became the first Northern Ireland agency ever to win a SABRE Award and the only agency from the island of Ireland to collect a top prize for excellence in PR this year. Our award came for our work with IKEA, advising the global retail on the planning application for its very first store in Ireland. Sonya Cassidy, Chris Brown and Stephen McGrath can feel well satisfied that their work is considered the best in Europe.

Across the continent our colleagues are celebrating too. We were the biggest winners of the night collecting seven SABRES. The rooftop garden at the Hilton Stucky Molino will be bopping into the early hours. I’m off to bed and looking forward to getting some sightseeing in before heading back with the trophy to the emerald isle.

    Congrats Conall on the Sabre. I much enjoyed collecting a prize at the Media Awards but I have to acknowledge that the sword is mightier than the pen.
