With the West African Citizen Awards 2026 drawing near, Elite PR emerges as a nominee on the committee’s newly announced shortlist for “PR Agency of the Year.” The honor reflects the agency’s growing influence as a leading destination for public relations over the past six years, during which it has consistently managed the reputations of clients across Africa and in the diaspora.
