Penquin shines at the DMASA Assegai Awards 2020
After what has been a challenging year for many agencies, Penquin was amongst a strong list of leading agencies all vying for recognition at The Direct Marketing Association of South Africa's Assegai Awards 2020.

The Assegai Awards acknowledge and award agencies whose integrated marketing campaigns delivered exceptional results. This year’s glittering live event was held on Thursday, 26 November at The Venue in Melrose Arch.
The agency was incredibly proud to be awarded a total of four Assegai awards across various categories, amongst these a gold award for the agency's talented digital marketing manager Nicole Glover who was recognised as the Young Director Marketer of the Year 2020.
After recently being re-appointed by Suzuki Auto South Africa as their lead agency, Penquin celebrated this by scooping a Gold Award and Leader Award for the Ertiga and S-Presso Suzuki Auto South Africa campaigns, again proving why they have been the agency of choice for 18 consecutive years.
“The core of Penquin is the strength of our relationships with our clients. Clients trust us with their brand's reputation, and this drives us to be creative and innovative" says Ryan Nofal, managing director of Penquin.
