The Corporate Communications Awards to Highlight and Celebrate Communications Professionals Set to Hold on Saturday, April 1st
In a bid to recognize and celebrate unsung heroes behind outstanding reputation Management and Communications campaigns, the Corporate Communications Awards (CCAs), which is the first of its kind in Nigeria.
Date: Saturday, April 1st, 2017.
Venue: Lagos Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The Corporate Communication Awards (CCAs) was created because Communications professionals are not adequately acknowledged in this part of the world. Conspicuously, most awards for Nigerian practitioners today are mainly organized by foreign bodies/groups. It is safe to say that these awards do not fully reflect the African peculiarities; hence, the Corporate Communications Awards (CCAs) The awards which have ten carefully selected categories will be deliberated upon by seasoned Communications, Media professionals and Educationists in Nigeria and the Diaspora.
According to one of the organizers, Tampiri Irimagha-Akemu, “Against all odds, the Nigerian Public Relations industry has grown tremendously over the last few years and it is imperative that we have awards made by us and for us.’’
“We are particularly elated about the CCAs because it will reward and motivate professionals that have worked diligently to add value to brands and organizations. The CCAs will not only highlight excellent professionals, it will also improve best practices in PR and Corporate Communications Industry.”
Speaking of the awards, a member of the Advisory Board; Dr. Ikechukwu Obiaya, Dean School of Media and Communication, Pan-Atlantic University, said “I am excited to be a part of the CCAs, as an educationist with practical experience in the media; I understand the importance of recognizing hard work.”
This award is a great avenue to reward profound and dedicated professionals in the Corporate Communications Industry so I commend the organizers of this initiative and I hope to be a part of the deliberations next year. I congratulate all winners in advance’’ he added.
