Chain Reactions Africa Wins Nigeria’s Most Celebrated PR Firm

Chain Reactions Africa has won the country’s most celebrated PR firm at the SABRE Awards.

The award held in Mombasa, Kenya has the firm won four coveted trophies from a fiercely competitive pool of over 500 entries, solidifying its position as a creative force and strategic powerhouse in the African communications landscape. At the heart of Chain Reactions’ triumph was its Diamond SABRE win for Company of the Year (Dufil Prima Foods/Indomie), a resounding nod to its impactful storytelling through the Indomie Heroes Awards, a CSR campaign that honours young Nigerian heroes and reaffirms the brand’s deep social conscience.

Also among the winning campaigns was #OdourPandemic for NIVEA, the globally renowned skincare brand produced by Beiersdorf, which picked up two trophies – Superior Achievement in Research and Planning and Best in the Healthcare Categories.

This campaign seamlessly fused an insight-led strategy with hygiene education, leading to the development of the 25ml SABI roll-on and engaging over 195,000 students across Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Abuja. By turning students into Cause Champions, the initiative delivered real societal impact; with educators reporting marked improvements in hygiene practices.

In the Public Sector/Government category, Chain Reactions was awarded for its campaign for the Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, and Creative Economy (FMACCE) titled ‘Striking Gold’, a strategic initiative to amplify the ministry’s milestones, build visibility, and shape public perception.
