“The jury was not looking for visibility. Visibility is now the cheapest thing in our industry. We were looking for consequence. For the practitioner whose work changed a decision before it was taken, who protected an institution when it was unpopular, and who shifted a national conversation without needing their name on it.”
Senou, who also serves as Regional Advisor at Edelman and is a member of the PRCA Global Advisory Board, added, “That is the difference between publicity and public relations. Publicity is something you do to a public. Public relations is something you build with one. Five editions in, this list knows the difference.”
“Five years ago, we set out to create a credible platform that recognises excellence in public relations and strategic communications,” said Omawumi Ogbe, Managing Partner of GLG Communications and Creator of the PR Power List.
“Today, the PR Power List has become more than an annual list; it has become a record of the people shaping our profession and raising the standard of strategic communications in Nigeria. We are proud to celebrate this year’s honourees and grateful to everyone who has contributed to building the PR Power List into what it is today.” commenting on the milestone fifth edition,
