Nigerian Public Relations agencies have failed to meet the cut for the 2017 edition of the Superior Achievement in Branding and Reputation (SABRE) Award.
In the recently released finalist shortist for the award, no Nigerian agency was mentioned, not even in the Africa agency of the year category where South African agencies dominated. The winners of the award will be announced at the Sabre Awards annual awards dinner, to be held at Station-Berlin on May 25, 2017.
In the Geographic category (Africa), five African agencies were nominated and they included FleishmanHillard South Africa. The agency got the nomination for #AfricaAgainstEbola, done for The African Union. Ogilvy Public Relations also got a nomination for World Hunger Month – Story of Hope—KFC.
Another nominee was Eaton with Weber Shandwick, their entry was Brand Building in Africa. Other agencies with a chance to win the category are FlySafair with WE Communications and Phoenix Bev with Blast Communications, the agency behind the campaign- Eski – When Intangible Cultural Heritage Reconnects a Brand with Its Audience.
In 2012, The Quadrant Company became the first Nigeria agency to win the prestisious awards. The agency which is headed by Bolaji Okusaga was voted African Consultancy of the Year.
