OAKLAND, CA--(Marketwire - Jan 27, 2012) - More than 50 winners of the 2011 Bulldog Digital/Social PR Awards for Outstanding Achievement by Agencies and Individuals in PR and Corporate Communications were announced today by Bulldog Reporter. Winners enter a pantheon of exemplary communications practitioners, and their campaigns will be summarized in the Bulldog Awards Digital/Social Awards Hall of Fame magazine, which is to be published in March 2012 and in Bulldog Reporter's Daily 'Dog online trade journal.
