Awards frenzy continues at Kaizo with two more shortlist nominations, this time in the PRCA awards.

Kaizo has been shortlisted for ‘Best Consumer PR Campaign’ and‘Best Media Relations Campaign.’ Both nominations are for The Truvia® Voyage of Discovery, which saw the roof of Selfridges turned into a spectacular boating lake to launch Truvia® calorie-free sweetener.

The awards will be announced in London on November 13th, 2012.

Earlier this year Truvia® Voyage of Discovery won the CIPR ‘Best Event’ and SABRE Diamond Award for Superior Achievement in Brand Building. The campaign is also currently shortlisted for the Gramia’s and PR Week awards. For brief details of the campaign please visit http://www.kaizo.co.uk/expertise/truvia/

Kaizo picked up the coveted Best Consumer Relations award at last nights CIPR awards for its work with Flip Video.

The Sharing Hearts Minds and Moments campaign won over the judges with its integrated approach and undoubted focus on business success in terms of sales.

Certificates were also picked up for shortlisted campaigns in the Best Social Media, Best Broadcast and Best Media Relations categories.

And so the awards season commences…. and what better way to kick it off than with the irreverent, ‘alternative’ PR accolades, the now cherished Jackenhacks.

Crew Kaizo was of course out in force, taking the opportunity to catch up with ex-colleagues (competitive streaks set aside for the evening!) and have a drink with some of our favourite journos.

Revealing the industry’s worst slip-ups in eleven different categories, there were certainly some ‘interesting’ stories behind the nominations and some equally entertaining acceptance speeches: the agency who won ‘Biggest Loser of Clients and Talent’ distributed Wagon Wheels to the crowd (wheel…wagon….falling off….get it?!). Award for GSOH duly won!

We weren’t nominated (phew!) but we will keep you posted on other awards we are up for including PR Week’s ‘Best Consumer Campaign’ and PRCA’s ‘Best Technology’ and ‘Best Media Relations’, in the coming weeks

Cross everything!
