McKenna Townsend PR scooped three Gold awards including Outstanding PR Consultancy at the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) PRide Awards. The glitzy ceremony was held at the De Vere Hotel in Southampton and honoured PR practitioners in the CIPR’s Wessex region, which includes companies from across Dorset, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
The agency, which provides regional, national and international PR support for a range of clients including the SUBWAY chain, WestQuay and The Oracle Shopping Centres and Dorset Police, was shortlisted for no less than seven categories, finally walking away with three Gold awards and two Silver awards on the night.
Sarah Townsend, co-managing director of McKenna Townsend PR, said: “I am absolutely thrilled with our wins at the CIPR PRide Awards and particularly that we’ve been recognised as the Outstanding PR Consultancy. Our aim is the relentless pursuit of results and these awards are testament to the great work the team does every day for our clients. We are looking forward to working on more award-winning campaigns for our clients.”
Katherine Stedman, chair of CIPR Wessex, said: “To win outstanding public relations consultancy is a fantastic achievement and McKenna Townsend PR should be very proud of this accolade and the other awards it received for its client work. McKenna Townsend PR is very committed to its staff and delivering great results for its clients. This has seen them grow the work it does for their current clients as well as gaining a number of new clients – enabling the agency to grow by over 50% over the last year.”
McKenna Townsend PR was set up six years ago by co-managing directors Matt McKenna and Sarah Townsend and continues to be the largest public relations agency in the Wessex region. The agency was recently recognised by PR Week as a “One to Watch 2009” in the publication’s industry rankings and is one of the top 50 consumer agencies in the UK.
