PR Agency of the Year in Southeast Asia - Nomination 2013

For the second year in a row, the Holmes Report has nominated Vero Public Relations as PR Agency of the Year in Southeast Asia. It's wonderful to be recognized in this way along with other leading PR agencies, including some of the worlds largest firms. Since our nomination in 2012 - our company has progressed nicely, from opening an office in Yangon to growing our businesses in Vietnam and Thailand with great clients that allow our talented team to do great work. As I write this from our office in Myanmar, our people are working on some of the most exciting communications challenges in Asia, including the budding telecommunications sector in Myanmar. At this time, there may be no place in the world more exciting than Southeast Asia for the PR industry. We are thankful to the Holmes Report for this 2013 nomination as PR Agency of the Year. And we look forward to a great second half of 2013.
