The awards celebrate the best PR campaigns and individuals from the profession across Scotland.
The Communicator of the Year is a new category for 2011 where individuals were judged on their experience in the profession, an endorsement from their employer, and their individual contribution to the organisation and value as a leader and key communicator.
Louise started her career as a journalist before moving into the voluntary sector.
Martin Raymond, chair and non-executive of Young Scot who nominated Louise for the accolade said: “Louise is simply one of the most passionate, skilled and respected communicators I’ve come across.”
