It’s a sign of the times that the 24th year of SA’s Prism Awards recognising the best, and the up and coming in the country’s public relations and communications field has been a virtual event.  But that didn’t dampen the enthusiasm to recognise SA agencies that have pulled out all the stops to support clients over the past tumultuous 12 months.

Positive Dialogue was delighted to receive a Special Mention for its popular, bright-spark Jive #Dala Your Colour campaign as ‘Best use of an event to build or change reputation’. The same campaign also notched up a Bronze award in the Food and Beverage category.

The agency, which is part of the Duke Group, won the Silver Award in the Technology category for its stunning campaign for the launch of the OnePlus 7T Pro, featuring extraordinary SA creatives.

In the Travel and Tourism category, Positive Dialogue received a Special Mention for its ‘Inspired by Mzansi’ campaign for Marriott International which has highlighted all that SA has to offer for domestic travellers on the lookout for much-needed breaks from lockdown life.
