PR agencies celebrate The PRmoment Awards 2025 shortlist

The PRmoment Awards 2025 shortlist for North and South was revealed yesterday and the PR industry not only took to socials, but made videos and even sent in quotes expressing what placing on the shortlist, let alone the chance of winning such a prestigious award, means to them. 

The PRmoment Awards, sponsored by Opinium, have always maintained a low entry fee, which means agencies of all size and profit from across the country are able to participate and celebrate success. With a robust judging process and a breadth of diverse talent, being shortlisted does truly mean your work and your agency are in the top percentile of the UK PR industry. 

Riannon Palmer, CEO and managing director of Lem-uhn said: "We are thrilled to be shortlisted for PRmoment's Micro Agency of the Year. When I launched Lem-uhn, I set out to prove that you can treat employees well and still deliver outstanding results. Whenever I speak to someone outside of the PR industry, they are always astounded by 91% of PR professionals struggling with their mental health. But when I speak to industry peers they aren't surprised. We have all experienced the intense pressure, stress and workload that is the norm in the PR industry. It's no wonder a number of professionals are leaving the industry. It doesn't have to be this way, and you can have an agency that prioritises both client and employee happiness."

Kevin Callus, associate director at Dawbell said: "I'm very proud of the team. They worked so hard for this Gibson campaign and it's great that we have been recognised by our industry peers. We have been diversifying our offering for a while now and this is another testament to the agency's capability of bridging brands within music/entertainment and popular culture."

Split into two nights, the first ceremony of the year will take place on 27 March and London's elegant Park Plaza Westminster. While the second ceremony will take place on 3 April at Manchester's luxury hotel and event space, Manchester Hall. Guests will be treated to a champagne reception, with plenty of photo opportunities and a chance to show off their glad rags and greet peers, before being whisked away to the dining area for an elevated three-course meal, and a night of entertainment and theatre to commemorate the industry's finest. 

Mariam Kamel, PR and social media manager at, Thinking Hat Media and finalist for the Young Professional of the Year, South said: "Mama I made it! Absolutely over the moon to be shortlisted. Huge thanks to my amazing team. Bring on the big night

And, of course, once dinner has finished our guests will not be held in suspense long before the awards are handed out, and the real show can begin. With tables positioned so our glittering awards guests can not only see but be seen, the night will boast an opportunity to network with old friends and fresh faces. Ultimately, the night is designed around what the PR industry needs and wants, an opportunity to be commended on hard work and have fun while doing it. 

Lizzie Earl, CEO at Stakked said: "Stakked – especially our freelance PR platform Nibble – were four years in the making. Planning, building, testing, getting it right before making it all live. So, recognition like this is a sign that what we’ve created is already having an impact.I know that everyone across our four creative boutiques - Munch, Flabbergast, Nibble and Another Blank Page - feels that we’re building something special every day, but moments like this make it even more real! Super proud of everyone, and we will be celebrating."
Will English, MD at Cairn said: "The team at Cairn is super proud to be short-listed in the PRmoment 2025 Awards! Creativity doesn't always go hand in hand with B2B PR but we're here to change that... roll on awards night."

Those lucky enough to win a PRmoment Award will not only get the fame and glory that comes from such an accolade, but they will also get guaranteed editorial coverage about their win across PRmoment's website, social channels and newsletter to further cement your achievement in the industry and also your client's minds. 

Our team will be filming throughout the night and will nab winners for quick video interviews after the ceremony has finished. The editorial coverage will be one of the first things clients find when searching for your agency online.

The same goes for being shortlisted. We understand how important it is to show receipts for your agency wins, and shortlisting evidences the breadth of excellence at your business and further cements your legacy in the PR space. New for 2025 as part of the appeal of entering the awards, PRmoment will be publishing its top 10 PRmoment Awards most shortlisted PR agencies next week.
