Ogilvy Ghana Ranked 11th Globally At Global SABRE Awards

The “Ghanaians Against Child Abuse (GACA)” campaign conceptualized by Ogilvy Ghana and executed in partnership with the Government of Ghana and UNICEF has been ranked at position 11 out of the top 40 global PR campaigns at the recently held SABRE Awards in Washington, USA.

The campaign beat over 5,000 entries submitted globally to the prestigious SABRE Awards competition which identifies and rewards the best communication and PR campaigns.

Regional Managing Director, Ogilvy Africa, Akua Owusu-Nartey said: “We are humbled yet proud. This award reflects our commitment to driving meaningful change through the work we do.

GACA is a social drive that seeks to eradicate the acceptance of any social and cultural practices that exploit children or have negative consequences on them. So far, a total of five million people have been engaged through traditional and social media channels in a bid to address the issue in Ghana.
