“Any one of these awards could be Bospar’s 300th win since our launch in 2015,” said Curtis Sparrer, principal and co-founder of Bospar. “Companies looking to hire agencies should prioritize awards over case studies since awards have been vetted by agency veterans who know the difference between fluff and success.”
The six shortlisted entries reflect the breadth of Bospar’s approach, from purpose-driven community relations and experiential campaigns to reputation management and creative work built with limited budgets. They also build on a year of recognition for the agency, including honors for its work in financial communications, community relations, purpose and impact, and the innovative use of AI in PR.
For nearly 30 years, the PRNEWS Platinum Awards have recognized the campaigns, agencies and in-house teams setting the standard for influence, reputation and results. This year’s finalists were selected from a highly competitive field spanning every discipline in the profession, from media relations and brand strategy to public affairs, digital communications and experiential campaigns.
