Introduction

There is consensus that the value of PR has never been more crucial and more recognised by CEOs and the C-suite.

PR operates across stakeholder groups and communities and there’s no doubt the days of having one message for customers, another for staff, and yet another for investors are well and truly over.

Across the world, Haymarket's PR awards (also known as the PR Week awards in some parts of the world) honours transformative work that demonstrates the highest standards across regions and territories, as well as the best work in the distinct markets of Asia-Pac, LATAM, and the Middle East, Europe and the US.

In June 2026, India will be hosting the sixth edition of the PR awards that honours local excellence in the field of communications.

The power of the communications industry is a key factor in the growth of global business and the ability of organisations of all types to tell their stories and change behaviours: The Campaign India PR Awards 2026 will recognise the best examples of this in practice.
