Despite the epicenter being offshore, the earthquake caused substantial damage throughout the coastal communities, including in the region’s capital, Padang City. Most of the inhabitants of Padang (population: 750,000), as well as an additional 884,500 people living in surrounding areas, were affected in some way by the earthquake. The final death toll came to 1,117, with an additional 1,214 seriously injured. The quake also destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses throughout the region and caused serious damage to the infrastructure of most remaining buildings. When the government declared a state of emergency, however, national and international media outlets were quickly spreading exaggerated statistics about the quake’s aftermath. **Crisis Response Team** In order to prevent panic spreading throughout the entire population of West Sumatra, the Indonesian government, acting through the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), called upon IndoPacific Edelman to help get their message out to the public and restore order in the region. IndoPacific Edelman’s crisis response team quickly mobilized and was on the scene within 72 hours of the earthquake. The team immediately established a media center that would provide accurate and reliable information to media outlets from around the world. In addition to conducting extensive media relations, the team worked closely with relief workers, psychologists, doctors, volunteers, and donors to restore order. The crisis team also stayed in close communication with key government officials including Head of the Senate Taufiq Kiemas, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, and U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon. **More than Just a Media Center** During this campaign, the media center became much more than a place that simply provided information to journalists. The center served as a reference point for all involved parties. This included members of national and international aid organizations, relief workers, major NGOs such as the United Nations, international volunteers, and members of the local community. In helping the BNPB reassure the public, the crisis team was able to prevent a panic from making an already difficult situation even worse. **Providing Vital Information** The most tangible example of the media center’s contribution was the quantitative measurement of media coverage following the team’s arrival. Once the media center had been established, the number of articles with a negative tone decreased by 62.4 percent in only one week. This quick reduction in negative press coverage underscored the effectiveness of the crisis team in countering misinformation and making the public aware of the reality of the situation. In the month following the earthquake, the number of negative articles written had been reduced to just 9.6 percent. More important still, the ability of IndoPacific Edelman’s crisis team to efficiently manage the media center and all crisis communications was essential in helping restore order following the disaster, and in providing vital information to all parties. This was essential in moving recovery efforts forward in the region. In short, IndoPacific Edelman’s media center brought calm in the midst of chaos. **About IndoPacific Edelman** IndoPacific Edelman, a member of Edelman Worldwide, is Indonesia’s largest PR firm, with over 100 employees; it offers corporate communications, public affairs management, crisis management, and consumer PR. In the past six years, IndoPacific Edelman has won an IPRA Frontline Award, a Stevie Award, a Cakram Award as Indonesia’s PR Agency of The Year, a* PR Week* Award, and an Indonesian IPRA Award.

Founded in 2005 by Jocelyn Johnson, Gravitas won a Stevie Award for Communications or PR Campaign of the Year in the 2010 [Stevie Awards for Women in Business](http://www.stevieawards.com/women).  This [public relations award](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/awards/70_816_3658.cfm) was accepted by Jocelyn Johnson at the ceremony in New York on November 12, 2010.  [See her acceptance speech here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPBj5cLWnL4). Gravitas won their 2010 Stevie for their campaign entitled "Motor Trend 2010 Car of the Year: Good News for US Automaker."  As Gravitas reported in their winning nomination: "There was a poignancy associated with the winner of the 2010 Car of the Year award – the Ford Fusion.  As the nation and the world worried whether Detroit could be saved, it seemed fitting that the oldest and strongest of the “Big Three” would emerge triumphant among the global field of contenders. Gravitas Communications was tasked with launching a campaign for the 2010 award that would reach new levels of coverage and serve as a positive and motivating boost to the American auto market – but with half the budget compared to prior years.  The goal was to appeal to a mass audience, with the widest possible national and international media coverage.  The Gravitas team architected a comprehensive publicity plan that efficiently reached the broadest audience possible and was inclusive of all major communications channels including: print, television, radio, web, social media and online video. " The results of the winning campaign (as of early October 2010) included: - 1200 Tweets - 175 Television hits -  400 online articles -  4187 streams on the Webcast - 6x more than we hoped for; currently 17,100 views on YouTube - The Contender video has garnered more than 67,000 views on YouTube - Live broadcast on FoxBiz - Nationally syndicated Associated Press article; front page of FoxNews.com , CNBC.vom, MSNBC.com, CNN.com, USA Today.com, Yahoo.com - MotorTrend.com broke a million page views overall, only the second time the site has achieved that level of traffic The next opportunities to win PR awards in Stevie Awards programs?  The [PR awards](http://www.stevieawards.com/aba) categories of The 9th annual American Business Awards, and the [PR awards](http://www.stevieawards.com/iba/) categories of The 8th annual International Business Awards. 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/bid/46386/How-PR-Awards-Winner-Gravitas-Communications-Won-Their-Stevie#comments-listing) Topics: [business awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/business-awards), [PR awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/pr-awards), [stevie award](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/stevie-award), [public relations awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/public-relations-awards), [pr award](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/pr-award), [public relations award](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/public-relations-award), [awards pr](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/awards-pr), [award pr](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/award-pr), [gravitas communications](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/gravitas-communications) ## [How Coca-Cola HBC Romania Won a PR Award in the 2010 IBAs](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/bid/46298/How-Coca-Cola-HBC-Romania-Won-a-PR-Award-in-the-2010-IBAs) Posted by [Michael Gallagher](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/author/michael-gallagher) on Mon, Nov 22, 2010 @ 03:30 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) *Coca-Cola HBC Romania, Bucharest, Romania [was presented with the Stevie Award](http://www.youtube.com/thestevies#p/u/73/YBc9RmA-WFk) for Public Affairs Communications or PR Campaign of the Year, in the [PR awards](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/iba/awards/171_695_13742.cfm#CorpComm) categories at The 2010 [International Business Awards](http://www.stevieawards.com/iba) banquet in Istanbul on September 27.* When Romania became a member of the European Community in 2007, EU legislation required that Romania increase its waste recovery to 60% by 2013. ![Laura Sgarcitu](http://thestevies.com/images/Update/1010cocacolaro.JPG)The main challenges for the country to reach this target were the lack of an integrated waste-management system with appropriate legislation—and the need to educate the population on separate collection. Coca-Cola HBC Romania, part of the Coca-Cola Hellenic Group, took a leading role in Romania’s efforts to build an integrated system to recover packaging and to provide an awareness campaign for the general population. Separate collection and recycling represent the main sustainability directions of the company. **Objectives** Coca-Cola HBC Romania’s Community Programs team, led by Laura Sgarcitu, an experienced Public Affairs & Communications Specialist, had three objectives: to promote a legislative framework to support a waste management system; to make a significant contribution to attaining the national target set by the EU; and to promote the importance of separate collection and recycling at a national level. A 2008 study carried out by the Institute of Marketing and Surveys in Romania (IMAS) had revealed that only half the Romanian population collected separately. In 2009, the Community Programs team at Coca-Cola HBC developed a platform on separate collection, the two major components of which were a lobbying program aimed at outlining a legislative framework for separate collection in Romania, and an educational campaign targeting the public. | ![spacer](http://stevieawards.com/mailers/Stevie_FINAL/spacer.gif) | | | | --- | --- | --- | | ![arrow](http://stevieawards.com/mailers/Stevie_FINAL/aba_email_01_arrow.gif) | ![spacer](http://stevieawards.com/mailers/Stevie_FINAL/spacer.gif) | [**Read the Rest of This Article... **](http://thestevies.com/StevieAwardsUpdate/October142010fulltext.html#story_02) | 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/bid/46298/How-Coca-Cola-HBC-Romania-Won-a-PR-Award-in-the-2010-IBAs#comments-listing) Topics: [communications awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/communications-awards), [International business awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/international-business-awards), [PR awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/pr-awards), [stevie awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/stevie-awards), [public relations awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/public-relations-awards), [pr award](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/pr-award), [public relations award](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/public-relations-award), [communications award](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/communications-award) ## [Scottish PR Award winners](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/bid/45579/Scottish-PR-Award-winners) Posted by [Michael Gallagher](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/author/michael-gallagher) on Fri, Nov 05, 2010 @ 10:50 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) From [scottgdouglas](http://twitter.com/scottgdouglas) on twitter: RT @cipr_scotland: The full list of winners from last night's glittering Scottish PR awards - [http://ow.ly/34OTn](http://ow.ly/34OTn) [(http://twitter.com/scottgdouglas/statuses/448484494811136)](http://twitter.com/scottgdouglas/statuses/448484494811136) Congratulations to all the winners in this year's Scottish PR awards.  Don't forget to nominate in public relations awards and communications awards categories in The 2011 [International Business Awards](http://www.stevieawards.com/iba)! 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/bid/45579/Scottish-PR-Award-winners#comments-listing) Topics: [communications awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/communications-awards), [PR awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/pr-awards), [public relations awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/public-relations-awards), [pr award](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/pr-award), [public relations award](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/public-relations-award), [awards pr](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/awards-pr), [award pr](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/award-pr), [communication award](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/communication-award) ## [2 Reasons Why Weber Shandwick Is 2010 Agency of the Year](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/bid/45535/2-Reasons-Why-Weber-Shandwick-Is-2010-Agency-of-the-Year) Posted by [Michael Gallagher](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/author/michael-gallagher) on Thu, Nov 04, 2010 @ 01:59 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ![5032467131 e3edd0410c m](https://blog.stevieawards.com/hs-fs/file-13812819-jpg/images/5032467131_e3edd0410c_m.jpg)Now that we're coming to the end of 2010 and we look back over the Stevie Award winners for the year, it's apparent that Weber Shandwick truly is the agency of the year for its haul of pr awards. The agency won the Stevie for Public Relations Agency of the Year in The 8th annual [American Business Awards](http://www.stevieawards.com/aba) back in June in New York.  You can read the full-text of [their Stevie-winning nomination](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/awards/403_2634_20606.cfm) on the ABA web site. Weber Shandwick Europe then won the International Stevie for Public Relations Agency of the Year in Europe in The 7th annual International Business Awards, which were presented in Istanbul, Turkey on September 27.  That award was accepted by Rose de la Pascua, Chair of Weber Shandwick Spain and Executive Vice President for Continental Europe.  Read the full-text of Weber Shandwick Europe's [Stevie-winning entry](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/iba/awards/408_2635_20755.cfm) on the IBA web site.

First off, there are those categories that *are* plainly labelled, and they include the many Communications or PR Campaign/Program of the Year categories we introduced in 2010.  Here are the main communications categories (the letter/nomination combinations are our internal category codes): C01. **Public Relations Agency of the Year ** C02. **Communications Department of the Year** C03. **Communications Team of the Year ** C04. **Investor Relations Campaign/Program of the Year ** C05. **Communications or PR Campaign/Program of the Year **         a. Community Relations: campaigns/programs that aim to improve relations with communities in which the sponsoring organization has an interest, need or opportunity.          b. Crisis Communications: campaigns/programs undertaken to deal with an unplanned event and requiring immediate response.          c. Global Issues: campaigns/programs that demonstrate effective global communications implemented in at least two countries, one of which must be the United States.          d. Issues Management: campaigns/programs undertaken to deal with issues that could extraordinarily affect ongoing business strategy.          e. Low Budget (under $10,000): campaigns/programs that cost no more than $10,000 to plan and implement.          f. Marketing – Business to Business: campaigns/programs designed to introduce new products or promote existing products or services to a business audience.          g. Marketing – Consumer Products: campaigns/programs designed to introduce new products or promote existing products to a consumer audience.          h. Marketing – Consumer Services: campaigns/programs designed to introduce new services or promote existing services to a consumer audience.          i. Multicultural: campaigns/programs specifically targeted to a cultural group.          j. Reputation/Brand Management: campaigns/programs designed to enhance, promote or improve the reputation of an organization with its publics or key elements of its publics.          k. Public Affairs: campaigns/programs specifically designed to influence public policy and/or affect legislation, regulations, political activities or candidacies.          l. Public Service: campaigns/programs that advance public understanding of societal issues, problems or concerns.          m. Social Media Focused: campaigns/programs designed to be implemented primarily through online social media.        C06. **Communications, Investor Relations, or PR Executive of the Year ** C07. **Communications Professional of the Year **(for non-executive communications, PR, and IR professionals).  This category has no entry fee. These categories all require pretty much the same information: a. An essay or case of up to 500 words about the achievements of the nominee since January 1 2010.  Depending on the category the nominee can be an entire department, a team, an individual, or the performance of a campaign or program. b. A set of links to online work samples, news articles, press releases, videos, images, etc. that support the nomination.  This is optional but highly recommended.  You can provide as many links as you'd like, but up to 20 is optimal. c. A brief biography of up to 100 words about the nominee or the leader of the nominated department, team, or campaign/program initiative. As always we welcome your [comments and questions](mailto:info@stevieawards?Subject=ABA%20Category%20Question) about these categories and how to enter. There are a number of other ABA categories that should be of interest to communications professionals, including many of the [corporate literature and annual report awards categories, web site and blog awards categories, video awards categories, and live event awards categories](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/awards/70_816_3660.cfm).  I recommend that you take a look at these as well. 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/bid/45209/PR-Awards-Categories-in-The-2011-American-Business-Awards#comments-listing) Topics: [communications awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/communications-awards), [business awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/business-awards), [PR awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/pr-awards), [public relations awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/public-relations-awards), [pr award](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/pr-award), [public relations award](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/public-relations-award), [awards pr](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/awards-pr), [investor relations awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/investor-relations-awards), [communications award](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/communications-award), [awards public relations](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/awards-public-relations), [ir awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/ir-awards), [ir award](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/topic/ir-award) [Previous](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/author/michael-gallagher/page/1) ### Request an entry kit for one or more of the stevie awards programs [Remove my information](https://blog.stevieawards.com/public-relations-awards/author/michael-gallagher/page/2#) Entry kit will be sent to you by email.
