A Nomination Recognizing a Commitment to Social Good

The PRCA Platinum Awards are renowned for their rigorous entry criteria; only campaigns that have won or been shortlisted at other major PR industry awards within the past 12 months are eligible. This “winner of winners” system makes it one of the most competitive accolades on the global stage.

Makaira has operated under the mission of “Advocacy for Changemakers,” supporting clients who aim to solve social challenges through innovation. This nomination, following last year’s victory at “THE GOLD STANDARD AWARDS 2024,” affirms that our approach—prioritizing broader social benefit over narrow industrial or corporate interests—is being recognized at a global level.
