The Sir Walter Raleigh Awards is a showcase of exemplary work by public relations and communication professionals throughout North Carolina.

“We are pleased to win these awards recognizing our achievements and hard work,” said Chuck Norman, APR, owner/principal. “All of our accomplishments result from the creativity and client-centered philosophy each team member channels into his or her work.”
