The team from Edelman accepts the Gold for PR Agency of the Year at last year’s gala.

Fourteen public relations’ shops made the shortlist for this year’s Agency of the Year awards.

The 2018 Public Relations Agency of the Year shortlist contenders were decided by a panel of public relations experts, who spent two weeks scoring the work and narrowing down the field.

This year’s AOY awards gala will be held in Toronto on Nov. 1, when the top Media, Digital, PR, Design and Agency shops will be awarded. The Media, Design and Digital AOY shortlists have already been announced this week, with the final shortlist to be announced Friday.
