Maxim Behar Received the Worldwide Award for Best Manager
The leading Bulgarian PR expert Maxim Behar and founder and CEO of the leading Bulgarian PR agency M3 Communications Group, Inc, received the golden trophy from the hands of founder and president of the Stevie Awards Michael Gallagher at a gala banquet in Toronto, Canada.
Maxim Behar has said he is dedicating his Gold Stevie Award in the 2015 Chairman of the Year category to all of his colleagues and partners with whom he has worked in M3 Communications Group, and particularly those with whom he works now.
Behar has been awarded the prize in competition with over 1800 candidates from all over the world in the Chairman of the Year category. For the first time a Bulgarian national has won gold in this category.
Maxim Behar is a President of the World PR Association (ICCO) as well as a Chairman of the Board of the World Communication Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
M3 Communications Group, Inc., for its part, was declared a Bronze Stevie winner in the Public Relations Agency of the Year in Europe category as a recognition for its "20 years of outstanding performance", its high degree of professionalism and its contribution to the development of PR business in Bulgaria.
"It was very exciting, such a prize is received probably once in a lifetime, moreover against such competition. But it shows that Bulgaria is fully able to compete against any other country in the world, a place where business could be done in an accurate and upright manner if you have the right attitude. To do an honest and successful business is the harder path not only in Bulgaria but anywhere else. For us, however, it is the only possible one and these new awards are a clear sign that with much work and much innovation success always comes," Behar said in a statement.
Created in 2002, the Stevie Awards are often referred to as "the Business Oscars". They are aimed at honoring and generating public recognition of the achievements and positive contributions of organizations and working professionals worldwide. Nowadays the Stevie have become one of the world's most coveted prizes.
