"Best work happens behind the scenes"

Comments company founder and chairman Marcus Brewster, "So much of our best work happens unheralded and behind the scenes. Due to the confidential nature of the assignments, we never get to share case study best practice with the industry, or even enter the work for award ceremonies. It is thus very gratifying to get this award, as the shortlist evolves through peer nomination and the award is given on merit."

Earlier this year, the agency won the Business-to-Business category at the 2012 PRISA PRISM Awards for its work with the Rezidor Hotel group's business development division, the third year in a row to be honoured in this category. The agency also took the Gold Award for Corporate Communication in 2010 and 2011 (one of 14 trophies it received last year for PR Excellence).
