INC collects several nominations for the 2020 edition of the EMEA SABRE AWARDS, the international PR Oscars promoted by the editorial group Holmes Report (from this year PRovoke Media). INC brings in the final 5 PR campaigns realized for Barilla, Heineken, Unione Italiana Food and UNHCR. An extraordinary international result for the Rome- based agency that rewards not only INC’s creativity and “content first” approach, but also the whole Italian PR industry that brings home a significant record: it is the first time in the history of the Sabre Awards that an Italian agency brings 5 communication campaigns to the final.
The #letsputonyourhead, campaign for UNHCR, and “Back for good”, for Ichnusa are both finalists in the category for the best PR campaign in the Mediterranean area; the campaign created for Barilla on the occasion of the launch of the new Biscocrema Pan di Stelle, is one of the 5 finalists in the consumer marketing category, and #carbonaraday, the social event created by INC for the Unione Italiana Food and IPO, is a finalist in the “social media” category, while the launch of the Carta del Mulino for Barilla received the nomination in the Corporate Media Relations category.
“In these difficult days, this news fills us with joy. We are the only Italian agency to access the final with 5 campaigns. It is an exceptional recognition of the incredible work done by our team in 2019. And it is nice that the finalist campaigns concern a little all our practices: corporate, PR brand, digital, social communication. For us at INC, 2019 was an important year, full of outstanding campaigns, and closed with a + 7% growth in agency fees and a + 10% in staff. Now a difficult year awaits us, but I am sure that in 2020 we will continue to create campaigns capable of making a difference and of creating value for our customers”, explains Pasquale De Palma, President and CEO of INC, National Institute for Communication.
The news of the 5 nominations arrives on the occasion of Carbonara Day, the social event dedicated to one of the symbols of the Italian Way of Life and that INC created 4 years ago for Unione Italiana Food and IPO – International Pasta Organization. Today the initiative is one of the finalists in the “social media” category of the Sabre Awards.
The winning campaigns of the EMEA SABRE AWARDS 2020 will be announced on May 28, in a virtual award ceremony (the live event scheduled in Paris has in fact been cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic).
