First International Resources Wins the In2 SABRE Award for Original Research

March 4, 2015 – First International Resources, a corporate and political consulting firm, is pleased to announce that it has won the In2 SABRE North America Award for “Original/Commissioned Research for PR.” Presented by The Holmes Report, In2 SABRE Awards honor innovation and establish the industry standard in the area of public relations and strategic communications. The awards were announced at a ceremony in San Francisco on February 18.

First International Resources is proud to be recognized for its work on The ADL GLOBAL 100: An Index of Anti-Semitism, the most extensive ever survey of anti-Jewish sentiment conducted on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League, one of the premier civil rights organizations in the United States. Available through an interactive web site at http://global100.adl.org, the survey establishes a worldwide benchmark measure of public attitudes and sentiment toward Jewish people, and offers researchers, governments, corporations and members of the public direct access to a treasure trove of current data about anti-Semitic attitudes globally.

In addition to planning the project, designing the questionnaire and spearheading the worldwide data collection, First International Resources coordinated the ADL Global 100 public launch, media rollout and website development. The survey has been featured in leading publications and media outlets, such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, NBC News and CNN, and in many foreign language and digital media sources. Overall, the ADL Global 100 survey has emerged as a strong driver of a global dialogue about anti-Semitism – as well as religious and ethnic discrimination in general – and a definitive source for data on the subject.
