HACKENSACK, NJ--(Marketwired - Aug 10, 2016) - US-based Bulldog Reporter, a renowned journal for communications professionals, has announced a partnership with Concept PR, a division of Concept Group, for the launching of its signature Bulldog Awards in India.

Chris Morrison, President of MediaMiser, an affiliate of Bulldog Reporter, said, "There is so much incredible talent in India that is worthy of global recognition through Bulldog Awards. We look forward to seeing some of the great PR campaigns coming out of that country entered into our programs and witnessing new and innovative ways Indian agencies are reaching their goals in that market."
