How KB Woods Helped Capture the Spirit of Arizona’s Top PR Awards
Honoring Excellence in Public Relations
A Look Back at the 2023 PRSA Phoenix Copper Anvil Awards
The 2023 PRSA Phoenix Copper Anvil Awards was a standout evening that brought together Arizona’s most talented public relations professionals. From experienced leaders to rising students, the event showcased the strength, innovation, and heart of the state’s communications community.
Celebrating Outstanding Communications Work
Each year, the Copper Anvil Awards highlight excellence in strategic communications. The event not only recognizes standout campaigns but also celebrates the people and organizations shaping the future of public relations in Arizona.
This year’s program was a true reflection of that mission. Award winners demonstrated creativity, impact, and integrity in every project submitted. Their work elevated brands, informed communities, and advanced the value of communications in the public and private sectors.
Recognizing Leadership and Legacy
We would like to thank Kristin Hege, President of PRSA Phoenix, for her leadership throughout the planning and execution of this event. Her vision helped create an experience that truly reflected the spirit of Arizona’s PR community.
Two featured honorees stood out for their contributions and leadership:
Dana Mason Berchman, Chief Digital Officer for the Town of Gilbert, and
John Moreno, Communications Manager at AAA Arizona.
Both professionals appeared in our official event recap video. They shared insights into their work and offered reflections on what public relations means today.
Spotlighting the Next Generation
The future of public relations was also on display. Members of the Public Relations Student Society of America at Arizona State University made a special appearance in the recap video. Their energy and enthusiasm served as a reminder of the bright future ahead for the profession.
