JUDGING CRITERIA
At the heart of The PR Net 100 is a commitment to recognizing outstanding achievements and forward-thinking approaches in the PR and communications industry. Our esteemed judging panel will be looking for agencies that are not only excelling in execution, but also leading with purpose, creativity, and measurable impact.
Applicants are invited to present a comprehensive overview of their agency’s recent performance, accomplishments, and positioning. The judging process will take into consideration the caliber and influence of an agency’s current clients, recent new business wins that signify momentum and strategic growth, and the agency’s visual identity through a high-resolution logo submission.
Above all, agencies are asked to share the story of their year—what made it exceptional, how they’ve evolved, and the tangible outcomes they’ve delivered. Whether through impactful campaigns, media recognition, culture-building initiatives, thought-leadership contributions, or business expansion, applicants should illustrate the results and relevance of their work with clarity and creativity. The most compelling submissions will offer a clear narrative, supported by facts, figures, and concise examples that underscore their impact in the modern communications landscape.
