Two #BCHampions earn Rising Star Awards

Sure, it’s an honor just to be nominated, but it also feels pretty good to bring home the gold. This October, several mask-wearing #BCHampions gathered around their laptops (socially distanced, of course) to watch the virtual PRSA Landmarks of Excellence Awards—and were proud to snag a total of 17 awards. Additionally, two members of the team earned a Rising Star Award, which recognize the next generation of professionals within the public relations and communications field. 

The Public Relations Society of America’s Bluegrass chapter hosts the Landmarks Awards annually to recognize the region’s top public relations work and communications projects over the past year. Agencies and companies across the region enter their work which is then judged by a peer review committee of public relations professionals in other cities. 

BCH garnered recognition for work across several platforms, including social media, media relations, special events management, and more.
