Ballynahinch firm lifts major CIPR PRide award

23 October 2019

BALLYNAHINCH’S RNN Communications has won a major accolade at the annual Northern Ireland Public Relations industry awards.

With a growing reputation for delivering exceptional and results-driven campaigns for local businesses, brands and national companies, RNN Communications was named the ‘outstanding small public relations agency’ at last week’s glittering CIPR PRide awards at The Culloden Hotel.

The awards recognise and celebrate outstanding campaigns, PR professionals and teams across the UK.

Operating from an eco-office in Ballynahinch, the local firm was established in 2013 and since opening has been acknowledged for the quality of its work and standout campaigns.

The judges recognised RNN Comms for its energy, drive to be at the front of new social and digital techniques and commitment to becoming Northern Ireland’s first carbon neutral agency.

Headed up by founder and client director, Riki Neill, RNN Comms delivers integrated communication campaigns for clients across Northern Ireland and Ireland.

Agency services include social media strategy, content creation and influencer marketing, PR including media relations, events and crisis management and a host of other services including sponsorship management and specialist communications for businesses operating in the renewables sector.

“This year has been an exceptional year for the agency,” said Riki.

“We have increased our headcount and client numbers, added to our services and, importantly, the agency has committed to its green credentials by offsetting its carbon footprint and announcing our goal to become Northern Ireland’s first carbon neutral communications agency.

“We are delighted to have been named as the best small agency in NI. It’s all down to our positive and ‘can do’ agency culture and our amazing clients who trust our counsel and ideas.”

Riki said the awards success is also down to its “incredible team of communication professionals” including Jolene Kelly, Jill McLernon and Déarbhla Sloan.

The Ballynahinch firm’s founder said that exceeding clients’ expectations and becoming the trusted PR & Comms partner for clients is what RNN Communications is all about.

She said many of many of the agency’s clients have been with RNN for years and that it is its growing reputation for delivering exceptional work that’s helping it to grow year-on-year.

Riki added: “We are an ambitious agency that delivers brilliant work for our clients who operate in a vast array of sectors, from food and drink to hospitality, accountancy and manufacturing.

“We love nothing more than seeing our clients’ businesses flourish and are always open to speaking with business owners and marketing teams to discuss how we can help companies to meet their goals.”
