Edelman receives record number of European SABRE nods

Edelman is celebrating after receiving a record number of nominations for the prestigious European SABRE Awards.

A total of 13 of the agency's campaigns have been shortlisted in the Diamond and Gold categories, while three campaigns were winners in the Silver categories and a further four were named as finalists.

Diamond and Gold nominations recognise the role played by PR agencies in brand-building and corporate image, while the Silver categories showcase how professionally-created content can enhance branding, reputation and other public relations objectives.

The SABRE Awards ceremony is set to take place in Brussels on May 31st 2012.

Robert Phillips, Edelman's president and chief executive officer for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), said: "I send my congratulations to the nominated teams and thanks to everyone for entering. It is obviously very important for Edelman to showcase our great client work and to be recognised for it."

Last month, the company announced the appointment of Susan Eastoe and Iain Twine to key leadership roles within its EMEA operations.
