In addition to the overarching "Communication Agency of the Year" Grand Prize, Bateman Group also won two Gold Stars of PR Awards for Boutique Agency of the Year (Specialty Practice) and Small Agency of the Year – Under $5,000,000, and a Silver All Stars Award for Technology Agency of the Year. In the Professional category, San Francisco General Manager and Partner Bill Bourdon was recognized with the Media Relations Professional of the Year award for his outstanding contributions to the agency's growth; exceptional employee mentoring and retention skills; and award-winning campaign strategies — all while maintaining the highest levels of client satisfaction possible.

"We've always been partial to submitting for the Bulldog Awards because the entries are judged by a team of working journalists who pick winners based the quality of the campaign, not the size of the agency," said Bateman Group founder and CEO Fred Bateman. "Still, news of the winning Grand Prize award came as a pleasant surprise and I was personally thrilled to see Bill Bourdon be recognized for his outstanding skills as a PR practitioner and invaluable contributions to building the agency's sterling reputation and growth."

The 57 winners of the 2013 Bulldog All Stars of PR Awards for Outstanding Achievement by Communications Agencies and Professionals were announced today by Bulldog Reporter. Campaigns were judged by a team of working journalists, who assessed them on the basis of their ability to achieve extraordinary visibility and influence opinion, as well as on their industry leadership, creativity, command of media and technology and tenacity.

The award comes on the heels of the agency winning three Bulldog Media Awards for Excellence in Media Relations for its work with clients Recyclebank and App Annie, including Best Green Campaign, Best New Product Launch and Best Technology Campaign.
