AXON Communications has once again been recognized with the Top Places to Work Award by PR News. The award celebrates organizations like AXON that are changing "the employer status quo" in the workplace. AXON joins an enviable list of honorees, including SHIFT Communications, a sister agency within the AVENIR GLOBAL network, that shine both as employers and in the work they do with clients and that pave the way for personal and professional successes of their employees.

"After accepting this award for the first time in 2017, I challenged our team to strive for even more," said AXON's Managing Partner in the U.S., Mario Nacinovich. "This is far more than being recognized as a top place to work in back-to-back years; this is about fostering a culture of employee empowerment where we challenge each other to perform better and to be as good as we can be together every day, in every way possible."

AXON received the award during the PR News' Top Places to Work Awards Dinner on Wednesday, November 28 at the Edison Ballroom in New York City.
