BERKELEY, CA--(Marketwire - May 19, 2011) - Bhava Communications, a leading-edge integrated public relations, marketing and brand identity agency, today announced that it has been recognized as a 2011 American Business Award finalist in four categories -- Public Relations Agency of the Year, New Company of the Year, PR Executive of the Year (Founder and Principal Elizabeth Zaborowska) and PR Campaign of the Year in the area of Marketing/Consumer Services.
Bhava Communications' finalist status for PR Campaign of the Year in the area of Marketing/Consumer Services recognizes the agency's promotion of Yummly, a Silicon Valley-based startup that is the pioneer in semantic recipe search and recipe recommendations. The Marketing/Consumer Services category highlights campaigns and programs designed to introduce new services or promote existing services to a consumer audience.
A division of the Stevie® Awards, the American Business Awards are the nation's premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the US are eligible to submit nominations -- public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. More than 2,800 nominations from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in more than 40 categories.
"The American Business Awards plays an important role in marking the achievements of businesses nationwide. We are truly honored for Bhava to be named a finalist for four awards spanning across our business and our work," said Elizabeth Zaborowska, founder and principal of Bhava Communications. "Our team is very fortunate to work with forward-thinking clients who embrace the value of integrated communications to meet their business objectives, which in turn has driven the success of our company."
Top industry organizations such as PRWeek and PR News (2010 Digital PR Awards and 2010 Platinum PR Awards) and the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals have recognized Bhava Communications for its integrated PR, marketing, video and design work with clients. In 2010, Zaborowska was named a finalist in the Best Entrepreneur category in the 7th annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business.
This year's Stevie® Award trophy winners will be announced during the annual gala on June 20 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. More than six hundred executives are expected to attend. The event will benefit Camfed, which fights poverty and HIV/AIDS in Africa by educating girls and empowering women to become leaders of change. The ceremonies will be broadcast nationwide by the Business TalkRadio Network.
