CIPR Shortlist BOTTLE for Awards Treble

Oxfordshire PR agency, BOTTLE, (www.bottlepr.co.uk) is gearing up for the CIPR PRide Awards after being shortlisted three times in the Thames and Chiltern region.

BOTTLE is a finalist in the Outstanding Public Relations Consultancy category and has been shortlisted twice in the Best Use of Social Media category for its campaigns for TV channel HISTORY and pest control expert Rentokil.

The CIPR PRide Awards recognise the best public relations agencies and campaigns across the Thames and Chiltern region and are judged by a national panel of leading PR experts. There were in excess of 1,000 entries to this year’s awards.

Claire Cairns, Founder and Director at BOTTLE, comments: “We’re delighted to be shortlisted in the CIPR PRide Awards. This is recognition for the hard work and ‘BRING IT ON’ attitude of our team over the past year and is a fantastic achievement for the business.”

Paul Sutton, Head of Social Communications at BOTTLE comments: “It’s great to be recognised for the social media campaigns we are producing at BOTTLE. Both the HISTORY campaign, which teamed up with location-based social network foursquare, and the Rentokil campaign, which integrated specialist Twitter and Google maps technology to locate wasp hotspots around the UK, are fantastic breakthrough campaigns that have gained widespread praise. The former has already won one accolade this year at the CorpComms Digi Awards. We’re really looking forward to the event in November.”

Commenting on the PRide shortlist, Jane Wilson, CIPR CEO, said: “The CIPR PRide Awards celebrate the best PR and campaigns from the profession across the UK. To be shortlisted for an Award demonstrates exemplary achievement, impact and value – immediately putting their work in the spotlight. Congratulations to everyone for reaching this stage.”

The winners will be announced at the CIPR PRide Awards presentation dinner at the Oxford Belfry on 25 November 2011.
