NEW YORK—Only 10
months after its launch, SCG Legal PR Network, a service that connects
attorneys as sources to reporters, received the Gold MarCom Award for
creativity and innovation this past October.
“SCG Legal PR
Network is excited and honored to accept the Gold MarCom Award. We’ve
experienced tremendous growth throughout our first year, and this award is a
great testament to that,” said SCG Legal PR Network Founder Paramjit L. Mahli.
“Smart folks in the legal industry understand that during tough economic times,
it’s imperative to continue with their media relations; it sets them apart from
their competition who are using draconian measures to slash their
communications budgets.”
Its legal-expert
member database ranges from lawyers from all sizes of law firms.
Since last
January, SCG Legal PR Network has facilitated relationships between its members
and journalists from news outlets such as Law360, New York Law Journal,
Financial Times, Fox News, BusinessWeek, Fortune, Money magazine, and The Times
(UK). This coverage includes comments for television, print and speaking
engagements.
The MarCom Awards
is an international creative competition administered and judged by the
Association of Marketing and Communications Professionals that recognizes
outstanding achievement by communications professionals. Entries come from
corporate marketing and communication departments, advertising agencies and PR
firms. Winners of the awards range in size from individual communicators to
media conglomerates and Fortune 500 companies. A complete list of winners can be found on the
MarCom Awards Web site at www.marcomawards.com.
