Robert Gibbs Receives PRSA "PR Professional of the Year" Award |
|
 At a West Wing ceremony on June 26, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs received the Public Relations Society of America’s prestigious “Public Relations Professional of the Year” award for his role as communications director of Obama for President. The campaign made groundbreaking use of Web 2.0 technologies, including blogs, social media, online video and text messaging, to transform static, one-way communications into a dynamic dialogue with voters. Gibbs’ disciplined communications approach also was largely credited for the campaign’s impressive ability to speak with a single voice.
On hand to present the award to Mr. Gibbs (center right) were (from left) Barbara Burfeind, president of PRSA’s National Capital Chapter; William M. Murray, PRSA COO; and Michael G. Cherenson, PRSA 2009 Chair and CEO.
