Press Release
CHICAGO, October 18, 2019 /3BL Media/ – Porter Novelli was awarded top honor as Agency of the Year at the inaugural PRWeek Purpose Awards at Marshall’s Landing on October 16, 2019.
The agency was praised for its firm belief that communication can advance society and its goal to seek out clients with a shared ambition of making a positive impact.

On Monday, August 19, America’s top CEOs put a stake in the ground – redefining the role of business in society. The business mentality of shareholder first is no more, and leaders have developed and adopted a new definition. The “Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation” written by the Business Roundtable puts the interests of all stakeholders first and introduces a broader, more long-term view of value creation. But what does this new definition mean for you and your business – and how might it impact the ways decisions are made in your organization?
What if we told you communicating with Purpose could help your organization break through the clutter? Not just break through – but actually ignite physical reactions like increased attention, heightened arousal and emotion that consumers themselves may not even be aware of. And, those physical reactions have a ripple effect. What if we told you Purpose has the undeniable power to create deeper bonds that transform the traditional consumer-company relationship?
