The PR world got a chance to celebrate themselves last night at the rooftop of The Ned Nomad in Manhattan. The PR Net hosted their fourth annual The PR Net 100 list party, celebrating the hottest firms in public relations. The list “spotlights talent, innovation, and influence within the PR agency industry.” Other criteria to be included is the presence of long-standing clients, recent client wins and campaigns, and updates on company developments.
“This event highlights the collegial spirit that is cornerstone to The PR Net,” founder Lisa Smith explains. “Agency principals connected in a very warm industry reunion, and as one founder said, “The PR Net 100 is more of a group recognition than a competition – we get to be in the room with our peers who we respect and admire.” Affirming the community’s emphasis on camaraderie and collaboration.”
