NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Global public relations leader Porter Novelli (PN) was named Mexico Agency of the Year and brought home three 2015 Latin America SABRE Awards at the first-ever Latin America SABRE Awards Ceremony in Sao Paulo on December 2. The SABRE Awards, which recognize Superior Achievement in Branding and Reputation, are presented by The Holmes Group, a leading global public relations publishing operation.

In awarding the title of "Mexico Agency of the Year," The Holmes Report highlighted Porter Novelli's "unusually collaborative culture," social and analytics capabilities and a record of notable new business wins in 2015. The Holmes Report's Agency of the Year honors are considered the ultimate benchmark of PR firm performance.

"It's a great honor to be recognized as a top public relations agency in Latin America," said Karen Ovseyevitz, president, Latin America, Porter Novelli.
