The agency was honoured for its trail-blazing work on the ‘PR Power List’, which spotlights PR professionals, who exemplified effective leadership and made significant contributions to the PR industry in Nigeria.
GLG was also a finalist for the ‘Agency of the Year’ award.
In addition, its Managing Partner, Omawumi Ogbe, was one of the three finalists for LaPRIGA’s highest award, ‘PR Practitioner of the Year’, which was won by the Founder and CEO of BHM, Ayeni Adekunle.
Released in partnership with The Guardian, the ‘PR Power List’ was the first-of-its-kind definitive list honouring the top 50 outstanding PR professionals in Nigeria to mark the World PR Day on July 16.
“To be recognised for ‘Best Innovation in PR’ by LaPRIGA is incredible. We’re honoured to receive this recognition for our unwavering commitment to the Nigerian PR industry,” said the Managing Partner at GLG Communications, Omawumi Ogbe.
Ogbe described the award as a direct reflection of the company’s exceptional work in highlighting other excellent PR firms and astute professionals, who have contributed to the growth and perception of the industry.
“We are very grateful for the mainstream acceptance the ‘PR Power List’ has received across Nigeria and other countries. We cannot thank The Guardian enough for coming on this journey with us. We look forward to doing much more in 2023 and beyond,” she said.
Created by the Lagos State chapter of Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), LaPRIGA is a highly regarded award in the PR community and business landscape to celebrate individuals and organisations transforming PR in Nigeria.
According to the organisers, the 2022 LaPRIGA attracted more than 120 entries, tripling the number of entries from previous years.
An elite judging panel selected the 2022 winners, with NIPR members at the centre of the nominations and choice of winners. Recipients of the 2022 LAPRIGA Awards were recognised at a black-tie ceremony in Ikeja, Lagos.
