Karachi: Asiatic Public Relations (APR) Network, a Pakistan PR firm, has been declared as the winner in the category “Social Media Campaign of the 2016,” in the prestigious SABRE Awards for Excellence in Public Relations Programming.
These awards attract close to 5,000 entries globally each year and provide the premier showcase for the best that public relations have to offer.
APR has won the Award for its entry: The Coca-Cola Book Bank, a unique PR activity conceived and executed by the agency for its client, Coca-Cola Pakistan, and which targeted collecting donations of textbooks from the public, to be given over to students of schools operated by The Citizens Foundation (TCF) and other NGOs for less privileged children. The campaign was actively promoted on the social media and had received an overwhelming response.
