Firm Wins IPRA Golden World Awards For Work With UAC, BIC

International communications agency, LSF PR has won three categories at the 2026 International Public Relations Association (IPRA) Golden World Awards.

The agency was honoured for its work with UAC of Nigeria Plc and BIC Nigeria, with awards spanning capital markets communications, corporate reputation, and brand strategy.

The recognition underscores LSF PR’s growing footprint across both complex corporate transactions and consumer brand building.

LSF PR received the Financial Services & Investor Relations award for its capital markets communications programme supporting UAC of Nigeria’s acquisition of CHI Limited from The Coca-Cola Company. The deal is ranked among Nigeria’s most significant FMCG transactions in recent years.

The Agency also secured two awards for BIC Nigeria — in Reputation & Brand Management and Consumer Product PR. The recognised programme repositioned BIC from a product-familiar brand into a purpose-led, multi-category FMCG business through an integrated strategy covering corporate reputation, education, culture, and consumer PR.

Speaking, the founder and CEO of LSF PR, Bidemi Akande said the awards reflect the agency’s commitment to strategic thinking and measurable outcomes.

“These awards reflect the strength and standard of work we deliver for our clients. The programmes recognised this year span capital markets communications, corporate reputation and brand strategy, each requiring a different communications approach but the same commitment to strategic thinking and measurable business outcomes,” she said.

She added that “operating across our UK and Africa offices enables us to support organisations through complex business moments while remaining closely connected to the markets and stakeholders that matter most. We are grateful to our clients for their trust and to our team for consistently delivering work that creates lasting value.”

The managing director, LSF PR Africa, Tolulope Akin-Aribisala, added, “I am incredibly proud of the team behind this recognition. Every programme required thoughtful strategy, close collaboration and disciplined execution, whether supporting a major corporate transaction or strengthening the reputation of a global consumer brand.

“Being recognised across such different communications disciplines reflects the consistency, expertise and commitment our team brings to every client relationship.”

Established in 1990, the IPRA Golden World Awards are regarded as the world’s only truly global PR awards programme. They recognise campaigns that demonstrate strategic excellence, creativity, and measurable business impact across international markets. Winners will be presented with their awards at the 2026 IPRA Golden World Awards in Athens, Greece, on September 25, 2026.
