Media Age PR Named Best Public Relations Agency 2022-2023

At the just concluded PRAU Awards, Media Age, a corporate and brand reputation management agency won 3 highly contested awards, namely; the Best Overall PR Campaign of the Year, the Best Corporate Communications Award, and ultimately, the Best PR Agency of the Year 2022-2023.

The Awards event that was held last Friday in Jinja town at the Jinja Nile Resort hotel brought together East Africa’s communications and Public Relations practitioners in a colorful dinner gala that was presided over by the First Deputy Prime Minister of Uganda, Rt. Hon. Rebecca Kadaga.

While handing over the Agency of the year Award to Media Age, Kadaga who had thanked PR practitioners for their tireless work in pushing and redefining Uganda’s PR landscape in her keynote address recognized Media Age PR’s efforts that had earned it 3 accolades, including the 2 most coveted awards of the night.

“This is motivation to do more,” Kadaga said while handing over the award of the Best PR Campaign of the year 2022-2023. The award was in recognition of the impressive PR campaign that Media Age PR executed on behalf of MTN Uganda for the 17th Edition of the MTN Kampala Marathon that was held in November 2022.

The Best corporate communications campaign was won by the 2nd Uganda-South Africa Trade and investment Summit that happened this year. This campaign too, was executed by Media Age on behalf of its client, MTN Uganda.

Congratulations to the Media Age PR Team for mopping up all the major awards this year at PRAU. As a corporate citizen, MTN Uganda gives paramount importance to our contribution to the society, our responsibility towards our regulators and our commitment towards our stakeholders. The recently held SA- Uganda Trade summit was a testimony of his commitment. How would we have achieved what we did through the summit without the amazing PR team of Media Age? They helped us keep the narrative honest, they supported us with innovation, and they worked with us with such amazing commitment.

At MTN, our efforts have been about creating shared value for our customers, we have always believed that we grow only when Uganda grows and that has always made us strive to create amazing social legacies like the MTN Marathon among others. Our efforts to reach out to our society with these efforts would be incomplete without the support of the passionate team at Media Age PR working behind the scenes through amazing PR innovations, great Media relations and a great sense of ownership of the MTN brand.
