Held at Cardiff’s Marriott Hotel on 13th November and hosted by ITV Wales presenter Rob Osborn, the event brought together communications professionals from agencies, in-house teams and independent consultancies for an evening celebrating the people and ideas shaping the communications industry.

 

Entries were judged independently by members of CIPR Scotland, who praised the quality and impact of this year’s submissions as “exceptionally strong”.

 

“It’s been brilliant to see such creativity and ambition coming through this year’s entries,” said Mark Woods, Chair of CIPR Cymru. “Welsh communicators are tackling big issues with fresh ideas and real purpose. It’s inspiring to see the difference our industry is making.

 

The range of work we’ve seen shows just how strong and diverse the comms community is in Wales. From small teams to big organisations, everyone’s raising the bar and showing what great communication can do”.

​

More than 70 entries were submitted across 18 categories, reflecting the breadth of work and talent across Wales’s communications community.

 

The awards were made possible through the valued support of sponsors TMPR, Laurian Communications, Bute Energy and The Senedd.
