CHICAGO, July 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — C-Strategies, Inc., a strategic communications and public affairs firm, has been named the winner of Silver 2023 Bulldog PR Awards for Best Midsize Agency, with Founder, President and CEO Becky Carroll also taking home Silver for PR Professional of the Year. C-Strategies also received Bronze in the Best Public Affairs Campaign category, receiving recognition for designing and leading the Protect IL Communities Campaign. The annual Bulldog Awards are exclusively judged by award winning journalists, celebrating public relations and communications excellence throughout the U.S. Nominees this year ranged from internal agencies to private firms, granting all public relations and corporate communication talent an opportunity to compete.
As part of the selection process, the panel of journalists evaluated applicants based on their vision, strategies, and distinctive approaches that enabled them to achieve their ultimate objective. This encompassed overcoming obstacles and their mission within the realm of corporate communications and public relations.
“We are thrilled and humbled to be recognized again in multiple categories in the 2023 PR Bulldog Awards. As a firm, we are committed to supporting all our clients in their mission of creating a positive impact in industries across private and public sectors here in Chicago and throughout Illinois,” said Becky Carroll, President and CEO of C-Strategies. “We have a small but mighty team of exceptional women who are committed to executing for our clients day in and day out. I am grateful to have a team that brings passion to the work we do every day and am looking forward to another successful year in 2024!”
C-Strategies’s team of ten has experienced exceptional growth, despite being a mid-size firm — winning them Silver in this year’s Bulldog PR Awards. In 2022, the agency maintained over 30 high-level clients while also increasing gross revenue by 60%. As well as maintaining impressive numbers, the agency takes pride in providing its team members with windows of opportunity to grow professionally, as well as supporting the next generation of PR professionals by offering three internships over the last year.
Becky Carroll earned Silver in the PR Professional of the Year category for her work growing C-Strategies to new heights since 2015. As CEO, she oversees business development and strategic goals of the firm, while taking a hands-on approach to developing client strategy and setting the culture to both support young talent and women returning to the PR industry. Carroll plays an instrumental role in every C-Strategies business decision, from pitching and landing new clients, to expanding scopes of work and executing deliverables. Her client recruitment has been carefully curated to include those who are serving historically underrepresented and underinvested communities, coupled with corporations and advocacy organizations who are investing in Chicago, Illinois and other states to expand economic development, growth and jobs.
C-Strategies led and designed the Bronze award-winning communications campaign for Protect Illinois Communities, an initiative to pass an assault weapons ban in Illinois. The firm developed a multi-faceted strategy over a seven week timeframe to build support and positive momentum for the Protect Illinois Communities Act, which included an aggressive grassroots, paid and earned media campaign, resulting in the successful passage and signing into law by Illinois Governor JB Pritzker of one of the strongest bans on assault-style weapons in the country.
