Drinks, dinner, and a lot of awards were all part of the 21st Del Oro Awards celebration on Thursday, May 11 at The Veranda. Emceed by KLRN Host of “On the Record,” Randy Beamer, there were plenty of laughs, but a few tears too, especially when individual award winners took the stage.
The honorees recognized were:
· Mariana Veraza-Vierya, Harlandale ISD, Horizon Award
· Morgan’s Inclusive Initiative, Social Responsibility Champion Award
· Kim Jefferies & Celeste Eggert, Haven for Hope, Public Relations Champions
· Rachel Benavidez, VIA Metropolitan Transit, Public Relations Professional of the Year
· Anamaria Suescen-Fast, talkStrategy, Tex Taylor Lifetime Achievement Award
Terri Behling, APR, handed out another 48 awards – El Bronce and La Plata - to businesses, companies and institutions that completed great work in 2022. Some the categories included Annual Reports, Print Magazines, Feature Stories, Websites, Videos, Media Relations, Social Media Engagement, and Influencer Marketing.
Besides people and awards, the term “nano-influencer” had its moment in the spotlight. After presenting an award to Citrus Advertising for Influencer Marketing, Randy asked, “what the…is a nano-influencer?” Everyone laughed, and then in true PR fashion, some pros sitting up front explained it.
If you missed the fun, you’ll have another chance next year. The entry and nominations process will open in December and the Del Oro Awards dinner will take place in May 2024. Be on the lookout for details!
