It's a privilege to be in the company of others regarded internationally as the best in communication excellence. To be selected by some of the world's best communications specialists as the top work in public relations is a real honor, especially considering the hundreds of fine agencies, corporations, and non-profit organizations eligible for the awards.”
The annual award is named for the Roman god who was the messenger of the other gods. The MERCURY Award symbolizes the spirit of the message communicated. It is the creativity, originality, and talent of the individuals involved to whom the program is dedicated. The annual MERCURY Awards competition was established in 1987 by MerComm, Inc., the world's only independent awards organization. The awards programs were founded to promote excellence in the various fields of communications.
