The Business Intelligence Group announced that April Margulies has been named the Public Relations Executive of the Year in the 2021 Public Relations and Marketing Excellence Awards. April Margulies has more than 18 years of industry experience counseling and implementing campaigns on behalf of clients across numerous industries, from Fortune 100 companies to startups.

“It’s an honor to accept this award from the Business Intelligence Group on behalf of my amazing team,” said April Margulies. “When I started Trust Relations, I had a vision of building an agency that was going to address some of the pain points that I came across while working in the PR industry, and this award validates that it has come to pass. We pride ourselves in our unique culture, revolutionary business model, exceptional professionals and hiring structure, and are excited to be recognized by BIG’s Public Relations and Marketing Excellence Awards this year.”
Trust Relations is a fast-growing, virtual branding and strategic communications agency. The agency bypasses the traditional agency model to build trusted brands, craft authentic stories and engage diverse audiences — for marquee brands and disruptive startups alike.

Congratulations to them all.”
The Executive of the Year in Public Relations and Marketing Excellence Awards rewards those individuals who largely go unrecognized for helping to build great brands and products of world-class organizations.
