The award was for the best Low Budget PR campaign for client Tots to France, a child-friendly travel company.

This award follows the Gold PRide Award award won by Peekaboo Communications late last year for the Thames and Chilterns region.

Being awarded a Highly Commended award, Peekaboo Communications was effectively ranked second in the country for the Low Budget PR category.

CIPR President Elisabeth Lewis-Jones said, “Winning a Grand Prix award is proof to your clients, employers and peers that you are the best of the best in the UK – at the top of your professional game.

“The winning campaigns show in-depth planning, creativity and clear results. Most importantly they demonstrate public relations’ contribution to the success of both public and private sector organisations.”
