CommsCon Names Celia Harding PR Professional of the Year 2026
LEOPRD founder Celia Harding has been named CommsCon PR Professional of the Year 2026, Australia's most prestigious individual recognition in PR and communications, presented at Crown Sydney on 25 March 2026. The win follows her B&T Women Leading Tech Award for Public Relations 2026, making her the most recognised PR professional in Australia this awards season. Both wins are grounded in the same finding: 62% of AI brand citations come from third-party credibility signals, not brand-owned content. The signals that earn AI trust are the same signals strategic PR has always built. What has changed is the audience.
