NEW YORK—Edelman and its clients will take home four Silver SABRE Awards for Excellence in Content Creation, more than any other firm. The awards will be presented at our annual SABRE Awards dinner, which will be held once again at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York on May 7.

There will be multiple awards for clients of several different firms, including Burson-Marsteller and its Proof Integrated Communications subsidiary and Minneapolis-based Carmichael Lynch Spong (three awards each) and M Booth Associates, Gibbs & Soell, and Ketchum (two awards each).

The Silver SABRE Awards recognize excellence in creative product (from experiential marketing to digital content) and PR agency management. Winners of the Gold SABRE Awards, for public relations programming, are announced at the awards dinner, but a list of finalists can be found here.

Tickets for the SABRE Awards dinner are now on sale and can be ordered using these forms.
