Dentsu PR Consulting Achieves Recognition at Global Awards
Dentsu PR Consulting, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, recently celebrated a significant achievement by winning two top honors at the Golden World Awards for Excellence (GWA). These prestigious awards are organized by the International Public Relations Association (IPRA) and highlight the finest contributions to PR across the globe.
The recognition came for their initiative titled "Tsugiki: Coffee Reborn," undertaken in collaboration with Tully's Coffee Japan. This project utilizes traditional Japanese cultivation techniques known as 'Tsugiki' to address the pressing issue of coffee cultivation viability forecasted for the year 2050. The initiative was lauded in two categories: Environmental - Agency and Sustainability Communications - Agency.
Implemented by the CRAFT PR Laboratory, which comprises members from both Dentsu PR Consulting and Dentsu, the "Tsugiki: Coffee Reborn" project is pioneering sustainable coffee production. As climate change threatens coffee-growing regions worldwide, this initiative strives to ensure the longevity of coffee varieties by collaborating with international coffee producers to revive endangered native breeds.
The GWA, now in its 36th year, was judged by a panel of 34 PR experts from around the world. The awards ceremony, set to take place on September 25 in Athens, Greece, will also announce the Grand Prix winner and the Global Contribution Award for campaigns benefiting the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
