The New York chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA-NY) and BCW, the global communications agency built to move people, today announced the creation of The Harold Burson Award. The first-ever winner will be awarded live during the 2021 Big Apple Awards Sept. 28.
The award will recognize a non-agency practitioner for outstanding communications achievement. The recipient will demonstrate a best-in-class approach to communicating with precision, conviction and transparency, values that BCW brings to every client partnership. The recipient will also have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and have an established track record of working to eliminate mis-, dis- and mal-information, important principles that BCW and PRSA-NY share.
A committee of established public relations practitioners from PRSA-NY will collaborate with BCW to select the recipient. The recognition is PRSA-NY’s first and only individual award dedicated to a non-agency practitioner for excellence in communications.
“PR teams don’t shine without the collaboration and support of the clients and colleagues who are in a position to turn our ideas into actions,” said Andrew Graham, president of PRSA-NY. “This recognition of a non-agency practitioner is important because the recipient will represent the ideal partner for our industry’s best and brightest professionals.”
