With nearly 50 categories up for grabs – which reflect the rapidly changing industry – this year’s Bells present even greater opportunities to promote and celebrate New England’s best PR and marketing campaigns. Bell Ringer Awards judges, who represent a wide range of communications leadership roles and industries, come from agencies, media organizations, corporations, and nonprofits. Their collective experiences and successes represent the best of the industry and make them uniquely qualified to judge the awards.
“The awards competition draws fresh, head-turning PR and marketing projects, programs, and campaigns that not only impress clients but also generate remarkable results,” said Cheryl Gale, president of the Publicity Club of New England and managing partner and co-founder of March Communications. “During this pinnacle year for the Pub Club, we are thrilled to bring the 50th Bells to The State Room, where guests will receive only the best in service, entertainment, and city views while we reflect on how far we’ve come and usher in the next era of communication excellence in New England.”
Some of the completely new and recently updated award categories for the Bells include:
- Influencer Relations
- Owned Media

- Content Marketing Campaign
- Social Media Campaign
- On-a-Shoestring Campaign
- Corporate or Agency Podcast
