1st Position: Amanda Gicharu from USIU for her presentation: “Bridging the Gap: PR Demystified”

One entry was submitted in this category but as earlier stated, that was the one that the judges determined the contestant did not conform to the three (3) year ceiling for professional experience but rather was far advanced in professional experience and practice.

9. PR PRACTITIONER

No entry was submitted in this category and therefore no award was given

10. PR CONSULTANCY

Two entries were received and adjudicated in this category and the judges felt that perhaps better marketing could have elicited better competition. Nonetheless it was a pretty tight race between the two agencies that participated

2nd Position: Tell-Em Public Relations
1st Position: Gina Din Corporate Communications

11. PRIVATE SECTOR PR CAMPAIGNS

This category had several specialized fields for competition in the PR profession including Financial Relations; Media Relations; Corporate Relations; Consumer Relations; Internal Relations; Public Affairs; Corporate Social Responsibility and Crisis Management.
Sixteen (16) entries were submitted and adjudicated in this category.

4th Position: Gina Din Corporate Communications for their entry “Sportsman of the Year” campaign for Safaricom

2nd Position: Oglivy and Mather Public Relations for their “KenGen Initial Public Offering (IPO)” campaign for Kenya Electricity Generating Company

Incidentally this campaign was one of the winning entries as judged by the International Public Relations Association at their recent ceremony in London. The judges here however would like to assure you that the IPRA verdict did not have any influence whatsoever on their decision.
