ABOUT PRWEEK AWARDS
Now celebrating its 25th year, the PRWeek Awards are firmly established as the communications industry’s highest accolade. Winning campaigns not only bring praise to the companies they serve but also shed light on the issues that matter. These activations are inclusive, provocative, sometimes controversial but always inspiring. They are visual, viral, visceral and get to the core of issues that may be thought about but are rarely addressed in a public forum.

ROKK Solutions is thrilled to announce that we’ve been awarded a Gold Viddy Award in the virtual reality category for our work with Southern Company. 

As the premier international competition honoring video excellence in a digital world, the competition draws over 2,500 entries from the United States, Canada, and 22 other countries. Judges for the Viddy Awards are industry professionals who look for companies and individuals whose talent exceeds a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a benchmark for the industry. Approximately 23 percent of entries received the Platinum award, 22 percent won Gold and approximately 10 percent were Honorable Mention winners.

We are honored that our latest ESG research report, “Navigating ESG in the New Congress: Voter Views on ESG Investing”, is a finalist in the “external publications” category for the 2023 PRNEWS Platinum Awards. 

ROKK Solutions conducted this research to ensure we were equipped to help our clients navigate the growing backlash in Washington. Many Republican lawmakers accused businesses of “corporate wokeism” and threatened oversight. 

Our research has shown clear voter opposition to restrictions on business’ social impact. In collaboration with Penn State’s Smeal College of Business, ROKK Solutions created an updated report highlighting voter views on ESG issues, which provides a path forward for navigating the anti-ESG political movement.
