In the dynamic realm of public relations, recognition of outstanding achievements serves to foster growth, innovation and professional development. One avenue for celebrating excellence within the PR industry is the prestigious Public Relations Society of America Bluegrass Chapter’s Landmarks of Excellence Awards. Each year the organization hosts these awards spotlighting individuals and organizations in the Louisville area that have demonstrated exceptional work in the industry. In 2023, Estes Public Relations experienced a record-breaking year, earning recognition for every entry submitted.
Awards & Recognitions
The awards and recognitions Estes Public Relations received in the year of 2023 are mentioned below:
- Award of Excellence for Fundraising for Team Ohana 2023
- Award of Merit for Patrick Properties Hospitality Group – Social Media Management
- Honorable Mention for The House of Marigold grand opening
- Honorable Mention for the Northen Kentucky “The B-line” National Awareness Campaign
- Honorable Mention for the Patterson & Company Certified Public Accountants column submissions.
In addition to the awards ceremony, we also got the opportunity to hear from a few notable speakers including Rising Star recipient Carly Curry, public relations and social media specialist at PriceWeber; Rising Star recipient Cait Crenshaw, senior public relations manager at Atria Management Company; Excellence in Journalism recipient Eric King, anchor at WHAS11 News; and 2023 Hall of Fame inductee Stacy Yates, chief marketing officer for Louisville Tourism. EPR Managing Director Tracy Green had the honor of presenting Eric and Stacy with their awards as part of her position as immediate past-president of the board and past Landmarks chair.
As PR specialists, it is our priority to find every avenue to showcase our clients’ accomplishments and successes. However, it is rare that we take a moment to recognize our own. The PRSA Awards not only serve as an evening for our team to honor the hard work behind each successful campaign but also to celebrate the year’s accomplishments. The night was filled with cheerful camaraderie, inspiring speeches, team bonding and, of course, a few champagne toasts!
