PRDecoded presenter by PRWeek

More than ever, society is looking to the business world to address pressing social and economic issues. With Millennials and Gen-Zers factoring it heavily in all decisions they make, the demand for brands to be steeped in purpose is so strong, it's become part of the zeitgeist - and the inextricable link between purpose and profit has made the business case just as powerful as the social one. As our annual conference returns to the Windy City, PRWeek is bringing together CEOs, CMOs, CCOs, and agency thought leaders to lead an essential conversation on how to deliver the powerful message of purpose with strength, conviction, authenticity - and maximum impact.

The Awards are open to agencies, brands, public sector bodies, nonprofits and NGOs. As consumers and potential staffers increasingly insist on brands they engage with and organizations they work for communicating what they believe in and standing up publicly for those values, winning a Purpose Award is the perfect way to demonstrate your organization’s authenticity in this crucial area.
