Winter 2005


It's somewhat hard to believe we're nearing the end of another year - a successful one for GolinHarris in Asia Pacific. During 2005, we have focused our efforts on strengthening key client relationships by developing and implementing great campaigns that help our clients build trust among stakeholders in their brands, products and services.

That's why as a consultancy we place importance in public relations industry awards - not just because we like winning awards (which of course is always very nice!), but because winning represents an endorsement by our industry peers that we are doing client work of the highest standard.

The recent Asia Pacific PR Awards, held in Hong Kong, were noteworthy in at least two respects. Firstly, the five client campaign awards for GH were shared across no less than three offices, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan - a strong indication that client work is consistently high quality across the region. Secondly, GH had two of the three finalists in the Young PR Professional of the Year Category including the winner, Marie Loh from Singapore. This is the second time in three years that a GH staffer has won this highly prestigious accolade, a clear indication of our commitment to identify and nuture young PR talent.

GH Asia Pacific also excelled in our recent Golin Awards, which puts the best in Asia Pacific up against the best client work across the global GH network.

Our success in such competitions is driven by the quality of our client work. In this edition of Breakthrough, we showcase some more of the great work we are doing for our valued clients around the region - which may feature in future award ceremonies!

Finally, on behalf of everyone at GolinHarris, may we extend our very best wishes for the forthcoming festive season to you, your family and friends.
