One of West Africa’s Public Relations companies, XLR8, has emerged winner of the Presidential Award of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations last week.
The award of “Best Corporate Public Relations Practitioner of 2017” was bestowed on the organisation.
In his citation for XLR8, the President of the Institute and Chairman of its Council, Dr. Rotimi Oladele, commended the “finesse and strategic rigour that have come to define the company’s craft,” adding that it was no surprise that XLR8’s interventions typically delivered the desired outcomes for its clients.
The Chief Executive Officer, XLR8, Mr. Calixthus Okoruwa, expressed his gratitude to NIPR for the recognition.
He said, “We are humbled and overwhelmed by this recognition, coming from the apex guardian of professionalism in the public relations and communications management sector,” adding that it would inspire XLR8 to rededicate itself to excellence in every facet of its operations.
He noted that XLR8 had, in the course of the 13 years since its founding, expanded very rapidly in the marketing communications consulting space in Nigeria by proving itself an invaluable ally and trusted advisor to several leading brands and organisations across different
sectors.
“It currently consults for leading multinationals in the banking and financial services sector, technology and telecommunications, sports and entertainment, food and beverage, fast moving consumer goods and the public sector,”
he said.
