PRmoment Awards Shortlist 2024 PRmoment Leaders PA Mediapoint PRCA

PR League - Agencies

Public relations and awards. For those of us that work in the sector, they seem almost synonymous. But which agencies are the most rewarded? And which in-house departments are the most successful? PRmoment has completed some analysis of the most high profile awards in the PR sector, and put the results into two leagues. This PR League shows the most rewarded PR agencies in the UK and the most rewarded in-house PR departments in the UK spanning from 2010 to 2014.

The table below has now been updated to include the results from the 2014 versions of the PRWeek Awards Shortlist and Winners, The PRCA Shortlist, The CIPR Excellence Awards Shortlist and winners and PRmoment's Awards 2013 (Shortlist and winners.) We have also included The Corp Comms Awards Shortlist and winners for 2013.

What does the Agency PR League show us?

Are we saying that this is a definitive analysis of the best PR agencies in the UK? No, to be honest. But it’s an interesting list of which agencies are doing well.

Needless to say, the table is biased towards the agencies that enter awards. As the old adage goes – if you don’t buy a ticket, you can’t win the raffle!

From 2010 to 2014 we have included in the scores the winners and shortlists for the following awards:

The PRWeek Awards, The CIPR Excellence Awards, The PRCA Awards, The PRmoment Awards and the Corp Comms Awards.

Up until 2013 we included the CIPR Pride Awards winners and shortlists but to be honest, in the interests of time - we had to cut them out this year. (Nothing personal PRide, but the number of your regional award ceremonies meant the PR League was affecting staff morale!).

Please note that the list below is in the order of the most number of points awarded. i.e. We have awarded the most points for a PRWeek Award. More points have been awarded for a win than a shortlist.
