OAKLAND, Calif. - (NewMediaWire) - May 5, 2014 - More than 100 winners of the 2014 Bulldog Awards for Excellence in Media and Public Relations Campaigns were summarized today in the Bulldog Awards Media Relations Hall of Fame magazine.

Winners were chosen exclusively by working journalists from hundreds of entries representing the very best strategic and tactical prowess that PR/corporate communications has to offer.  Campaigns were judged by a team of working journalists, who assessed them on the basis of their ability to achieve extraordinary visibility and influence opinion, as well as on their creativity, command of media and technology, and tenacity. 

This year’s Grand Prize Winner was awarded to Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems for its “Protecting America with Raytheon’s blimp-borne radar” campaign.  Judges awarded this campaign three Gold Awards—for Best General Business Campaign, Best Use of the Internet/Digital Tools Business, and Best Issue/Cause Advocacy Campaign.  “This campaign won an extraordinary number of Bulldog Awards, but it’s no surprise when you consider the strategic brilliance and the superb tactical implementation the company demonstrated,” observed Bulldog Reporter publisher James Sinkinson.  “The campaign is a picture-perfect example of the best PR can be—both great for the product and great for society.”

Bulldog Reporter also publishes the Daily ‘Dog online trade journal, the PR/communication industry’s largest circulation publication, and is the industry’s premier provider of professional development events and materials.
