Ragan Communications Invites PR Pros to Raise Their Profiles and Wow Business Prospects in This Contest Focused on the Latest and Greatest Work in Digital PR


CHICAGO, June 10, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- To succeed, PR professionals must be masters at their craft.

They must target their audiences and deliver their messages in a creative, exciting and artful way.

This task has become increasingly complicated and more important in today's digital age. It's high time to give credit to the digital PR work that stands heads above the rest.

Now there's a way.

Ragan Communications is calling for PR pros to test themselves against the best in the business in PR Daily's 2013 Digital PR Awards.

Brands and individuals around the world have the chance to raise their profiles, catch the attention of business prospects and win bragging rights with their cutting edge work in digital PR. The final deadline to enter is June 21, 2013.

"So much of our industry has been transformed by digital technology," says Mark Ragan, CEO at Ragan Communications. "We as communicators must keep pushing ourselves to create new, bigger and better ideas. After the success of last year's program, we are all excited to be wowed by this year's entries!"

This year's program will showcase the best PR work for digital media. Blogs, websites, mobile apps, infographics and video—we've got categories for all of these and more.
