About GLG World PR Day Soiree & PR Power List Awards.

Since its inception in 2021, World PR Day (WPRD) has become a global movement, uniting over 65 countries annually on July 16th to celebrate and elevate the public relations profession. A hallmark of WPRD is the PR Power List, a prestigious list by GLG Communications in partnership with one of Nigeria’s oldest and most respected publications, The Guardian. The PR Power List honors 50 outstanding PR practitioners driving impact across industries within and outside Nigeria. This initiative, alongside the event’s high-caliber programming, attracts an elite audience, including PR leaders, government officials, celebrities, and key industry stakeholders.” – Omawumi OGBE
