The award is particularly appreciated as it is voted for exclusively by financial journalists.

In presenting the award, the judges said: “Congratulations to Quill PR, which returns to claim the title that it held in 2017 and then again in 2018. As with all our PR and communications awards, it was the financial journalist community that had the final say in determining boutique PR agency Quill PR as the winner, with the outcome decided by an extensive poll carried out in April 2021.”

The judgement advised that recognition was given to Quill PR as a “longstanding and quality agency, with a diverse client base”. In the initial round of judging, the agency was complimented on providing “good examples of strong relationship building during lockdown”, with praise for their client wins during a difficult year.

The judges concluded: “Quill PR scoops this award for its work for both new and existing clients across the year.”

Sam Emery, managing director of Quill said: “We are delighted to win this award, especially as it is voted for by the press with whom we work so closely. 2020 and 2021 could have proved overwhelming in more ways than one. However, the Quill PR team more than punched above its weight, remaining a go-to source for press seeking quality comments and interviews and also as a trusted partner to our clients.”
