First, to inspire public relations professionals to deliver on the promise and live up to the ideals of the discipline by working in a way that delivers sustainable competitive advantage to their employers, demonstrates genuine commitment to the needs of an organization’s stakeholders, and adheres to the highest ethical standards. We do this by providing intelligent and insightful analysis the critical issues facing the profession and by challenging practitioners to consider the broader implications of their actions. Second, to elevate the status of the discipline by proving to senior executives that public relations is a mission critical management function that can deliver extraordinary business value by aligning the behaviour of an organization with the expectations of its stakeholders, and by demonstrating to the wider public that public relations can and should serve as an advocate for more responsible business practices.

The final deadline for the North American In2 SABRE Awards competition has been extended until 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟰, in part because of the US government shutdown. The In2 SABRE Awards, created to recognize the innovation and insight that power modern public relations, have expanded over the years to include a wide range of content creation, as well as data and analytics. “We want to see the best work from across North America, and with many firms unable to secure approval from government clients, we have extended the final deadline until October 24. Hopefully, that will be enough time for an end to the government shutdown, and a return to work for communicators,” said Paul Holmes, PRovoke Media founder and chief executive. Because of the unusual circumstances, there will be no additional late fee for submissions made after the original late deadline.
