Our emphasis on building a proficient team and focussing on making Concept a happy place to work at, is the sole reason for these laudable accomplishments. We thank the SVUS PR World Awards and their jury for recognising our work. We also thank PRCI for their continued confidence in Concept PR."
Acknowledging the awards, BN Kumar, Executive Director of Concept PR, said: "Global recognitions do not come easy. Our teams have put in a lot of hard work in researching, fact-finding and worked selflessly as we launched the campaign on Earth Day in association with Mumbai Press Club. We must thank NGOs such as Shree Ekvira Aai Pratishtan (SEAP) and Navi Mumbai First for their support in mobilising awareness. Media too played a big role in spreading the message and scores of environmental lovers for their unstinted support."
M B Jayaram, Chief Mentor and Chairman Emeritus of PRCI, said: "Team Concept PR has devised innovative ways to deliver hard-hitting messages stating that the Boom City of Mumbai will be doomed if environmental care is neglected. Our only interest is to make the people and the authorities shed their apathy."
