Who Dares Wins: Triple Crown for RNN at PRCA DARE Awards
The Merchant Hotel’s rooftop garden set the stage for the 2024 PRCA DARE Awards, where Ballynahinch-based PR Agency, RNN Communications clinched three top awards from four nominations.
The agency’s outstanding work and team were celebrated across multiple categories.
One of the standout achievements from last year was the World Sheepdog Trials.
The campaign, ‘Top Dogs: RNN Comms X International Sheepdog Society,‘ was honoured as the Best Media Relations Campaign and also received the Best Low Budget Campaign award in Northern Ireland.
Additionally, RNN secured the top accolade for Team, Culture, and Community.
Reflecting on the World Sheepdog Trials campaign, RNN’s Founder, Riki Neill, said: “Winning awards and celebrating great work is only possible with exceptional clients and projects.
“Collaborating with the International Sheepdogs Society, John McCullough, head of the local organising committee, and the dedicated team at Gill Hall, led by Bill Porter, was instrumental in our success.
“Hosting the World Sheepdog Trials in Northern Ireland for the first time presented a unique media opportunity.
“Our strategic media plan aimed to explore every angle and generate extensive earned media coverage.
“I’m incredibly proud of the team for securing coverage across all national media outlets, often multiple times.
“Highlights included filming by The One Show over four days and a visit from HRH Princess Anne, making this campaign truly memorable.”
RNN Communications also earned recognition for its exemplary workplace culture, winning the Team Culture and Community Award.
