Edelman, FleishmanHillard, H+K Strategies, Ogilvy and Weber Shandwick are the five finalists for 2018 Asia-Pacific Regional Consultancy of the Year (Large). Meanwhile, Allison+Partners, Cohn & Wolfe, Ketchum, Ruder Finn and WE Communications will contend for the same honour among Midsize networks in the region.

The Asia-Pacific Consultancies of the Year awards will again recognize the region's best firms across geographic categories and specialist disciplines. In all, 66 firms—from giant multinationals to small local specialists—are nominated across the 14 Consultancy of the Year categories.
The selections are the result of an exhaustive research process involving more than 125 submissions and meetings with the best PR firms across Asia-Pacific. Consultancy of the Year winners are announced and honoured at the 2018 Asia-Pacific SABRE Awards, which takes place on 11 September in Singapore. Tickets are available here.
