Dubai, United Arab Emirates - 9th July 2008 - The results of the CNBC Arabian Property Awards 2008 have just been revealed and Active Public Relations and Marketing Consultancy (Active PR) is delighted to announce that it has won an award in the category of BEST PR COMPANY. The award will be presented at a glittering gala dinner to be held at The Madinat in Dubai on 19th October 2008.

The fact that Active PR earned one of these coveted awards is sure proof that the Middle East can not only compete but also triumph within the highly competitive Arabian property arena. Having been given this high recommendation by its peers, the company is now entitled to display the CNBC Arabian Property Awards' logo with pride. This symbol of excellence will be recognised and appreciated by the public who are becoming increasingly well informed and discerning about the properties they seek to buy.

Entries were judged by a panel of professionals whose collective knowledge of the property industry is second to none and unsurpassed by any other property awards. Chaired by Eric Pickles, British Shadow Secretary of State, this year's judges included

Helen Shield, editor-in-chief of International Homes magazine; Peter Bolton King, chief executive of the National Association of Estate Agents; Phil Spencer, property expert and presenter of Channel 4's Location and Relocation TV shows and other senior figures.

Sawsan Ghanem, AMCIPR, Managing Director, Active Public Relations and Marketing Communications Consultancy said of the award, "To have been selected for this prestigious award is a great honour for any PR Agency, but for the team here at Active PR it is a major milestone, it illustrates the passion of the team here at Active PR for their Clients and for public relations as well as the focus on doing things differently.

This is a very real and very important achievement for Active PR and inspires us to continue adding such accolades to our Agency "trophy collection" and to represent the best standards in public relations and communications for our Clients."
