The agency walks away with 17 awards, including the Grand Prix for PR Agency of the Year and Gold for Medium-Sized Agency of the Year, says the agency.

This year's PRISMS theme,"The Human Factor," reimagins public relations through the lens of humanity — celebrating the storytellers, strategists and communities behind every campaign. It aims to recognise work that transcends metrics to touch lives, inspire dialogue and create authentic connections. Magna Carta's award-winning work aims to epitomise this ethos by demonstrating how purpose-driven storytelling and deep cultural insight continue to shape meaningful communication across the continent, says the agency.
 
In addition to the agency's collective wins, Mary Gearing, Deputy Managing Director, is honoured with the PRISA Presidential Award — a recognition of her contribution to the profession. "This accolade is unexpected and is not just for me but for my incredible team and the future of the public relations industry in South Africa," says Gearing.
 
"Our continued recognition at the industry’s most prestigious awards is a reflection of our deep belief in the power of strategic collaboration — both within our teams and with our clients. We are intentional about creating meaningful value for the brands we serve, ensuring that every campaign is driven by insight, purpose and measurable impact. At the same time, we remain committed to cultivating a nurturing environment that allows our people to grow, innovate and bring their best selves to the work as our success is ultimately rooted in the collective strength of our people," says Moliehi Molekoa, Managing Director of Magna Carta.
 
That collective strength is further underscored by the recognition of several rising stars within the agency. Lonwabo Ngonyama and Nonhlanhla Buthelezi win Silver and Gold respectively for Intern of the Year, while Sheetal Vallabh takes home Silver in Best Support Professional. Sebabatso Lemaoana is also named Best Up-and-Coming PR Professional, a nod to the agency's long-standing commitment to nurturing emerging talent, says the agency.
 
Molekoa also extends gratitude to the PRISA leadership, acknowledging Bradly Howland and Oscar Tshifure for their role in aiming to restore confidence and credibility in the professional body. "Their leadership has been instrumental in navigating the complexities of our industry," she adds.
 
With this showing, Magna Carta continues their aim to solidify its reputation as a trusted advisor to African brands. As the communications landscape evolves, Magna Carta remains steadfast in shaping the future of reputation management in South Africa and beyond, concludes the agency.
