awards and recognition
With a continually healthy haul of global and local honours, Weber Shandwick remains one of the most highly respected industry brands in Asia Pacific. In 2009, the Holmes Report named Weber Shandwick its Global Agency of the Year—specifically citing the firm's "size and quality in all three of the major regions in which it operates."
In 2009, Weber Shandwick won top honours in six categories at the Asia SABRE Awards—more than any other agency. And Weber Shandwick has an outstanding history at the annual Asia Pacific PR Awards, having been recognised in the Young PR Professional of the Year Category more than an other agency, receiving back-to-back Campaign of the Year Awards in 2006 and 2007, and in 2006 being named Network of the Year.
Weber Shandwick also leads at the local level, with such high distinctions as 2009 PR Agency of the Year being awarded to Weber Shandwick Australia by AdNews, and Weber Shandwick Malaysia being voted 2009 PR Agency of the Year by Advertising + Marketing magazine. In 2008, our Singapore office was also recognised as the Best Public Relations Agency by the International Business Association (Stevie Awards).
Finally, in addition to earning the admiration of our peers, Weber Shandwick has built a trusted reputation among our clients. In 2009, P&G named Weber Shandwick China its Agency Partner of the Year at the consumer giant’s internal PR EDGE Awards, which also saw Weber Shandwick win three out of the seven awards being presented.
