Djembe Communications, an independently owned pan-African consultancy, has been nominated for the best campaign in Middle East/Africa and Global Event Activation awards.

Djembe got the nomination at the PRWeek global awards 2018, for its implementation of the annual Innovation Prize for Africa 2017 (IPA) event held in Ghana last year.

According to a statement by the company, Djembe’s strategic approach towards IPA 2017, led to the highest number of applications-more than 2,500- of all previous editions.

It also saw the highest entries by African women innovators-482 representing around 19%- of overall applications and four of the final 10 nominees were women.

“We are thrilled to be nominated amongst other industry leaders,” Nicole Suter, managing director, Djembe Communications, said in the statement.

“Such achievements are a testament to our work and success, demonstrating that our unique business model approach works. Operating with a single P&L across our global network is a tremendous asset for clients wherein they receive the best, fully dedicated team of communications specialists to help realize their organisational objectives.

“With a strong footprint in Africa now, the consultancy is also focused on serving as a hub for international companies entering the continent.”

The award ceremony will hold in London on May 15, 2018, where industry peers will gather, network, and celebrate the winners.
