PR professionals from across the UK gathered at the Sheraton Grand on Park Lane in October for the 2021 PRCA DARE Awards Grand Prix Ceremony.
The evening marked the PRCA’s first face-to-face awards ceremony since February 2020.
Cardiff-based Cowshed were the big winners on the night, securing a hat-trick of awards including Medium Consultancy of the Year.
The DARE Awards recognise outstanding practice in eight regions and nations across the UK; the Grand Prix pits regional/national winners against one another.
PRCA Director General Francis Ingham MPRCA said:
“From Belfast to Birmingham, the DARE Awards have always showcased cased the biggest and brightest talent from across the UK. But this year’s Grand Prix gives us a special opportunity to recognise the incredible contributions of PR professionals during the pandemic. Congratulations to each of our winners and finalists.”
