Edelman hails record-breaking performance at Sabre awards

Edelman has won a record number of prizes at the Pan-European Sabre Awards, the prestigious industry award ceremony organised by The Holmes Report.

The company was named EMEA Digital Agency of the Year, while claiming six additional trophies in recognition of campaigns conducted on behalf of companies such as SC Johnson, GE and Hewlett-Packard.

It was the biggest winner of the evening, with The Holmes Report praising Edelman for its investment in talent and thought leadership over the past year.

Robert Phillips, president and chief executive officer for Edelman in the EMEA region, said the agency's performance at the event demonstrates its commitment to "quality and craft".

"This is a tremendous achievement and one of which we are very proud, not least for our clients and for our campaign teams," he added.

Earlier this year, the company was included in the Sunday Times' 100 Best Medium Size Companies to Work For list for 2011, ranking higher than any other PR agency.
