CIPR Excellence Awards 2026

Our win at the glitzy Chartered Institute of Public Relations Excellence Awards in July 2026 completed a hat-trick of awards.

We were thrilled to be able to collect the award along with Susan Phoenix whose husband was killed in the Chinook disaster on the Mull of Kintyre in 1994.

We won the Social Purpose Campaign category for our pro bono Chinook Justice Campaign. The judges praised the campaign for placing "the forgotten voices of the bereaved grown-up children left behind by the Chinook helicopter crash" at its heart, describing the work as "always human, gently innovative, respectful and powerful.”

PRmoment Awards 2026

We are also proud to have won Gold at the prestigious PRmoment Awards 2026 for our pro-bono work with the Chinook Justice Campaign. We generated more than 4,500 media mentions, achieved cross party support in parliament, more than 52,000 signatures on a change.org petition and succeeded in being granted the first ministerial meeting between the families and the Ministry of Defence in more than 31 years. And we did all that in just six months.

The judges said: “Powerful justice seeking campaign for families with sound strategy and strong outcomes.”

Indie Awards 2026

We are also thrilled to have won at the creative global Indie Awards 2026 for the Chinook Justice Campaign.
