Communicating Amidst Covid-19

Weber Shandwick was named Outstanding Large Agency of the Year at the 2020 PRWeek U.S. Awards, which were held virtually on July 30th.  This is the fifth time in six years that the firm has been recognized with the top honor in the large agency category. The agency was also the most awarded of the night, winning a total of six awards – with five campaign awards in partnership with clients, including Campaign of the Year with Ancestry for “Railroad Ties.”

Since March 2020, Weber Shandwick, United Minds and KRC Research have conducted four national surveys among American adults to explore consumer and employee attitudes about the response to COVID-19. Our latest research also evaluated perceptions on the extent to which companies have made progress on advancing diversity, equity and inclusion.

Last month, our agency renewed its commitments to fighting systemic racism and the continued oppression of people of color, specifically of Black people. Today, we’re taking a step toward accountability by sharing data on the diversity of our U.S. senior leadership and broader team by race.
