Mobas leads the pack in the CIPR PRide Awards shortlist

The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) in the east of England has announced the shortlist for its PRide Awards 2016. The annual awards celebrate the PR successes across all regions of the UK, and Mobas has risen to the top with the most nominations of any East Anglia agency.

The CIPR is a professional body for all PR practitioners in the United Kingdom at all levels and in all sectors. It has run the PRide awards for some years with Mobas winning a silver award in its region last year for Best Use of Media Relations.

This time around, Mobas has been shortlisted for multiple awards including Regional Campaign of the Year; Outstanding Small Public Relations Consultancy; Best Use of Social Media; and Corporate Social Responsibility Campaign. Also, its account manager Charlie Debney has been shortlisted for Outstanding Young Practitioner, taking Mobas’ tally to five shortlisted entries.

Adam Tuckwell, Head of PR at Mobas, said “It’s fantastic to see the team’s achievements recognised by the award’s judges. The awards have always been hotly contested, so it is great to be topping the pack with the most nominations of any agency in the region. We thrive on delivering high-quality campaigns for our clients, and we hugely look forward to the awards ceremony in September.

Full shortlists for all regions can be found here https://www.cipr.co.uk/content/awards-events/pride-awards. Anglia, Thames and Chiltern’s PRide award dinner is to be held on 22nd September 2016 at Homerton College, Cambridge.

As we approach World Cup year in 2026, the branding, ball and other assets have now been released so we are starting to get a feel for how it will look.

But, it’s not just the visuals of the branding and sponsors which shape how the tournament feels, but also the kits.


This time, as expected, the majority of kits will be Adidas or Nike manufactured, with a few others in the mix. But I want to spend some time focusing on Adidas.


They’ve made a subtle change to their template, which I expect to start seeing across all of their club kits too in the 26/27 season. It’s so subtle you may not notice, or you may notice a difference but not be able to put your finger on it.
In fact, it’s a change that I’m surprised hasn’t happened sooner.

If this sparked a rethink with your brand, imagine what we could achieve together.
