Nigeria: LSF PR Wins Three IPRA Golden World Awards

23 July 2026

International strategic communications agency LSF PR has won three categories at the 2026 International Public Relations Association (IPRA) Golden World Awards, receiving recognition for its work across capital markets communications, corporate reputation and brand strategy.

The awards recognise LSF PR's work for UAC of Nigeria PLC and BIC, reflecting the agency's expertise in advising organisations through complex corporate transactions, long-term reputation building and consumer PR.

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

The agency also received two awards for its work with BIC Nigeria, winning both the Reputation & Brand Management and Consumer Product PR categories. The recognised programme repositioned BIC from a product-familiar brand into a purpose-led, multi-category FMCG business through an integrated communications strategy spanning corporate reputation, education, culture and consumer PR.
