Eleven employees from PAN attended the Annual Publicity Club of New England Bell Ringer Awards Ceremony on Monday, June 11 at the Copley Marriott in Boston. The Publicity Club of New England is the oldest not-for-profit public relations trade organization. The Bell Ringer Awards recognize excellence in communications and public relations work, and are a symbol of outstanding achievement for New England area public relations professionals.
These types of events are ones where I wish we could have each of our employees attend. Winning a bell or being recognized with a merit is a result of hard work, dedicated teams, intelligence, spirit, pride and loyalty.
Each time PAN’s name was announced as a recipient last night, each of us who were present couldn’t help but wear a big smile on our faces. The competition is always fierce, as there are so many agencies that do wonderful work in New England. I loved seeing the heads of other agencies applaud for “winners” from other firms – it makes me feel very proud to be in this field.
I was especially proud that all THREE of our portfolios (Technology, Consumer and Professional Services) were represented. This is further proof that we are specialists in our portfolios and I’m thrilled! Thank you to our employees who work hard year-round to produce outstanding results - these awards are proof of just that. Congratulations, you deserve a big round of applause! We can’t wait until next year - we’re hard at work as I write this...
