MOMBASA—South African agency Retroviral and its clients have received six African SABRE Awards, more than any other firm.

The African SABRE Awards will be presented at a celebratory dinner in Mombasa, Kenya, on June 12, as part of the African Public Relations Association’s annual meeting. A complete list of the winners can be found here.

While Retroviral will receive more trophies than any other agency, Nigerian public relations firm Chain Reactions will receive four trophies, Edelman and Ogilvy will receive three trophies each, and there are two awards apiece for Burson (including its Blast subsidiary in Mauritius), Levergy, and Tribeca Public Relations.

In addition, PRovoke Media has announced the six contenders for the Platinum SABRE, presented to the best overall campaign in Africa last year. They are:

  • A Moment to Forget—Adasa
  • Bullet Proof Park—Razor with M&C Saatchi Abel
  • Change Starts with One: BIC x Mpumelelo—Bic with Retroviral, Shaun James Film, and Integer
  • The #ForeverWena Campaign—the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with Ogilvy Public Relations
  • #ODOURPANDEMIC—Nivea with Chain Reactions
  • Viva Clean Hearts, Clean Clothes—Viva Detergent with Blanche Aigle Communications

“The 36 campaigns we are recognizing with these African SABRE Awards demonstrate the incredible breadth and quality of campaigns we saw from across the continent this year,” says Paul Holmes, who chaired the SABRE jury meetings. “There was, as always, some exceptional purpose-driven work, but what stood out this year was the work that delivered real impact, either on causes or on sales and reputation.”
