At a sparkling Gala in Sofia, Bulgaria, the campaign on behalf of Project Literacy and supported by celebrities such as Lily Cole, beat over 60 other global campaigns in this year’s competition. See the video here.
And winning this year’s Global Contribution Award was a courageous campaign to combat fear surrounding polio vaccination in Pakistan. PR Agency Mediators created the Student Movement Against Childhood Diseases.
