India communications campaign wins top honours at PRWeek Awards Asia 2015
Education New Zealand’s India PR campaign received top honours at the prestigious PRWeek Awards Asia 2015 with a Silver award in the Public Affairs Campaign of the Year category and a Bronze award in the Public Sector Campaign of the Year category, for the same campaign..
The awards, in their 14th year, are among the most prominent and competitive ones in the region. Organised by Haymarket Media Ltd, they celebrate the most inspired and successful campaigns, companies and individuals in the Asia-Pacific communications industry.
The integrated campaign developed by ENZ’s India team along with support from industry partners created new ways of engaging with Indian students to study in the country’s institutions. ENZ used a combination of public affairs, public relations, advertising, consumer promotions and digital amplification, to highlight its offerings to the Indian student market. Initiatives introduced by ENZ in India were supported by NZ Inc. agencies and ENZ’s India PR agency partner Genesis B-M.
Speaking about the awards, Ziena Jalil, Regional Director – South and South East Asia, Education New Zealand said, “We are delighted with this recognition. It is a privilege to be considered for these awards with the likes of the UN Foundation and USAID and emerge winners.”
The PR Week Awards complete a hat-trick for the India PR campaign, following its win at the Public Affairs Asia Gold Standard Awards in November last year.
“Industry recognition is a great validation of what we have tried to achieve in terms of raising New Zealand’s profile as a quality student destination and education business partner in India,” says Ziena.
