Chair of the PRISM Awards 2023, Vanessa Wan, said: “I am deeply heartened by the strong support from the industry — from the generous support from the esteemed judges and sponsors to the incredible number of submissions received. The IPRS felt that it was important to focus on the ‘People in PR’ for this year’s awards. It is the PR practitioners who are at the heart of our industry, doing brilliant work every day and making an impact in their organisations, in the community, and on the profession. We all deserve to be recognised, celebrated and encouraged. Ultimately, it is through the best practices shared by the award winners that everyone will benefit, learn and grow.”
Kelvin Koh, Managing Director of Truescope Singapore, Platinum Sponsor for the event, said: “Our enduring partnership with IPRS has played a pivotal role in propelling us as a leading integrated monitoring provider, not only within Singapore but also across the region. Engaging in various IPRS initiatives, we have cultivated significant relationships and valuable alliances. The PRISM Awards represents our dedicated effort to give back to this remarkable community and recognise the best and brightest in the industry. This also reflects our belief and confidence in the work of IPRS and its members, which espouses the mantra of Public Relations In Service of Mankind. The record-breaking 121 award submissions spanning 26 categories from 47 distinguished organisations is a compelling testament to this belief.”
