Prema Sagar now part of global jury at Cannes
By Palin Ningthoujam on Mar 13, 2009 in PRAwards
We recently mentioned about the introduction of the PR Lions at Cannes starting this year. Well there is another good news. We heard from PRCAI that the Cannes committee ‘has invited Prema Sagar, Founding President of PRCAI and Principal & Founder, Genesis Burson-Marsteller, to be a member of the global jury. Prema is the only representative from the Indian public relations industry to be on the global jury.’
In a press announcement, Prema Sagar said, “The PR Lions bode well for the future of public relations as it will encourage even more integrated work with other forms of communication and improve both the value and perception of public relations. This award will provide a global platform for agencies and corporations to showcase their outstanding work.”
The new PR Lions award categories will broadly include Sector Related PR, Product & Service, and Technique and will be judged for Strategy, Creativity & Originality, Execution and Results. The winners of the first ever PR Lions and Grand Prix will be honoured in Cannes on June 22, 2009.
Our congratulations to Prema. This is indeed a good news for the Indian PR industry.
