Social Media and Digital Awards

From inspiring employee communications to delivering powerful stories, these organizations move on to the next round.

Social media and digital communications work can feel thankless. Behind the scenes, creators work hard to stay up to date on trends, generate innovative ideas and move quickly. PR Daily’s Social Media & Digital Awards spotlight the hidden stars and talent behind these campaigns and showcase their work, honoring professionals in a range of categories, from Best Social Media Campaign to Digital Community Engagement.

The Social Media & Digital Awards Class of 2024 also honors a Campaign, Agency and Team of the Year — those who delight their audiences and steal attention from the competition.

“Congratulations to the finalists in our 2024 Social Media & Digital Awards,” said Brendan Gannon, senior marketing manager for Ragan’s and PR Daily’s Award programs. “Your outstanding work continues to set the standard and push the boundaries in digital marketing and social media. This year, we’ve received an amazing mix of campaigns and content that exceeded expectations for their organizations and clients, leaving our judges with the delightful challenge of selecting the shortlist of finalists.”

Read on to see all the finalists across all categories that have moved onto this next step — and join us as we announce and celebrate the winners at our Social Media & Digital Awards Luncheon on August 1, 2024, at the Yale Club in New York City. Teams will celebrate with other finalists and connect with other influential professionals managing social media and digital communications.
