The General Building Contractors Association is proud to announce that Construction Today Magazine was given the distinguished honor of receiving a Pepperpot Award from the Public Relations Society of America. The award was to recognize Construction Today as a top publication in the Philadelphia region! 

The Philadelphia Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) held its 48th annual Pepperpot and Achievement Awards gala on December 6 at Water Works in Philadelphia.

The PRSA Pepperpot Awards are a staple in the Philadelphia region, recognizing best- in-class PR campaigns, tactics and professionals. The “Pepperpots” were named by Bill Parker, APR, then-chapter president and head of the Campbell Soup’s communications department, as a play on the famous “catch-all” Philadelphia soup to represent the effort and variety PR professionals put into their campaigns.

The event honors public relations campaigns and tactics submitted by chapter members across the Greater Philadelphia region. A total of 114 entries were judged independently by PRSA Oklahoma City across more than 30 public relations categories—from campaigns such as public service, special events and social media to tactics such as feature stories, op-eds and annual reports. The awards were presented by comedian and Off-Broadway star of “One Funny Mother” Dena Blizzard who served as the event emcee. The “Best in Show” award, given to the highest scoring entry overall, was presented to Anne Klein Communications Group for its work with Ralston Center on a robust public service initiative to enable older adults to thrive in their communities.
