“Not only are the PRISMs a great place to gain recognition for the incredible work your company has done, but it’s also the perfect setting to network; meet some of the leaders in the public relations and communication industry; and of course get your hands on some incredible prizes,” says Bridget von Holdt, convenor of the PRISM Awards.

Networking in the public relations and communication field is key and as the saying goes “it’s not what you know, but who you know”. According to a survey conducted by the International Communications Consultancy Organisation’s (ICCO) Q4 Trends Barometer, the people one already knows are the best source for building one's client base. With new business leads for public relations firms stemming first and foremost from referrals by existing clients and the personal contacts of the firm’s consultants, what better place to network and make invaluable connections than at the PRISM Awards?

“We always have the opportunity to learn, grow and develop ourselves,” continues Von Holdt. “One of the best ways we can do this is by surrounding ourselves with successful people. By drawing on their knowledge and wisdom, we can challenge ourselves to become even better. The PRISM Awards provide the ideal setting for this as you can mingle with some of best in the public relations and communication industry.”

Last but not least, the PRISM Awards are also about the awards themselves – the recognition and celebration of excellence.

With hostesses from Afroflame Entertainment, guests can expect a warm welcome. Bontle Motshwane, managing director of Afroflame Events says, “Afroflame Hostesses aim to bring an exciting ambiance to the PRISM Awards 2013, combined with world class customer service to ensure that guests sit back and make the most this prestigious affair.”
