Cone Chairman and Founder Carol Cone was named to the jury of the inaugural Cannes PR Lions awards at the 56th Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival in June.

The PR Lions honor the creative use of reputation management by the building and preservation of trust and understanding between individuals, businesses or organizations and their publics. The inaugural jury is comprised of 13 senior practitioners from agencies across the world, and Cone is one of only two American judges named to the panel.

“I feel honored to be included among such a prestigious group,” says Cone. “This will be a great opportunity to experience some of the best PR work on an international level.”
