Oct. 29, 2009 (Boston) Rasky Baerlein Strategic Communications was honored for best Satellite Media Tour in the past year the 2009 PR News Platinum PR Awards luncheon, hosted by PR News and held at the Grand Hyatt in New York City last week. Kelly Lynch, Principal and Senior Vice President at Rasky Baerlein, accepted the award on the firm's behalf, and was accompanied by Barbara Thorp, Director of Pastoral Support and Outreach for the Boston Archdiocese.
"Recognition by PR News for the quality of our work on this very sensitive assignment is second only to the expression of trust placed in us by The Archdiocese of Boston when they originally looked to us to manage the deluge of national and international media requests on their behalf," said Ann Carter, CEO of Rasky Baerlein. "We are extremely grateful for both the opportunity to serve the complex needs of our important and longstanding client and for the industry's recognition."
Rasky Baerlein received recognition for its work with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston and the coordination of media tied to Pope Benedict XVI's historic visit to the U.S. in April 2008.
Fr. John Connolly, Special Assistant to Cardinal O'Malley, said "RBSC, in the person of Kelly Lynch, demonstrated unparalleled dedication and commitment in expertly guiding our efforts to telegraph the Holy Father's message of apology and hope worldwide. We are thrilled that they have been recognized by the industry in this way."
