Godrej PRmoment Adfactors 3030 for 2021 now open for entries

 7th December 2020  

As a society and a public relations sector we approach 2021 with much hope and no doubt a little trepidation.

That said, the PR sector is expected to emerge from the Covid-19 crisis, in relative terms, better than most.

Adfactors co-founder and managing director, Madan Bahal believes that out of all the marcomm disciplines it’s the PR business that has performed the best with fewest job losses and no shutting down of PR firms. PR is also poised to significantly improve its positioning as an industry provided its emerging professionals are correctly trained and mentored.

With that in mind PRmoment India is very pleased to open the call for entries for the Godrej PRmoment Adfactors 3030 for the year 2021! In its seventh edition now, the PRmoment India 3030 is the defining platform that honours young PR talent in India.

Sujit Patil, the jury co-chair for 3030 and vice president and head, corporate brand and communications, Godrej Industries, said that "As the years pass by, the group of 30 under 30 are evolving significantly and recent conversations with a few of them have been really gratifying. Our endeavour this year too shall be to pick those names who have demonstrated great impact for their brands through innovative practices with a special focus on COVID related communication strategies, use of digital skills and data. 

Patil further added that “My favourite, “PR for PR” section has now been evolved into the, “Why PR will matter more post COVID” section. This question aims at bringing out your bullishness towards the profession and vision for yourselves and the PR industry. May the most well rounded professional win!”

3030 jury co-chair, Lavang Khare, vice-president Adfactors PR 3030 said that "The 3030 platform has over the years helped recognise some stellar talent. In this challenging year laden with unprecedented COVID related disruptions, PR professionals have walked an extra mile and striven like never before to support their management and seamlessly hand-hold clients in their communication goals without a break. I look forward to breakthrough thinking, a zest for creative ideas and an appetite for incisive insights that have held young leaders in good stead enabling them emerge as future ready communicators, while leading from the front."
