PR agency gets Cyber PR award

Well-known motor industry PR consultancy, Hall Public Relations — whose clients include Mercedes-Benz, Irish Ferries, Michelin and Texaco — have had their work in the field of crisis management and planning recognised with the presentation to them recently of the award ICTTF ‘Cyber PR Experts of the Year 2017’.

Recognising what was said to be ‘the considerable work’ done over time by Hall in the field of issues handling generally, the award was presented to the firm by cyber security guru and president of the International Cyber Threat Task Force, Paul C. Dwyer at a European Cyber Threat Summit held in Dublin City University.

Said to be in recognition of its ‘outstanding contribution to developing cyber PR guidance’, part of the Hall PR portfolio of work includes the preparation of handbooks written for the guidance of clients whose activities could leave them exposed to such threats.

At the DCU event, attended by some one thousand delegates, Hall founder, Don Hall (pictured right) participated alongside fellow PR consultants, Sharon Bannerton and Paul Allen in a Q&A session on the subject chaired by RTE presenter, Miriam O’Callaghan.
