The Public Relations Global Network (PRGN) proudly announces the winners of the 2025 Best Practice Awards, held at The Atrium of the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden in Nairobi, Kenya, on October 23, 2025. The awards gala was attended by delegates of member agencies from six continents, marking an exceptional celebration of PR excellence.
In 2025, 28 PRGN member agencies submitted a total of 160 entries, the second highest number in the 14-year long history of PRGN Awards. Entries were judged across 24 categories, including advocacy and awareness campaigns, B2B communications, crisis management and social and SEO campaigns, with the top agencies awarded gold, silver, and bronze trophies.
The PRGN 2025 Awards Gala was part of the October 2025 Member Meeting and Conference in Nairobi, where agency owners and leaders of PRGN member agencies met in person to discuss industry trends, service innovation and agency strategies. The event was hosted by Gilbert Manirakiza, founder and CEO of The Newmark Group, PRGN’s member agency in Kenya with offices and representation in 15 states across Sub-Saharan Africa. Trophies to category winners were handed out by May Lee Tan, partner and executive director at Perspective Strategies in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Wilson Barros, account director of Race Communications in São Paulo, Brazil.
The Awards night also featured PRGN’s presidential handover as Natacha Clarac, general manager of Athenora Consulting in Brussels, Belgium, passed the baton to Frédéric François, managing partner of Two cents in Belgium and the Netherlands, who will lead the global network and serve until December 2026, marking a new chapter for the organization.
