Flow Communications has announced that it has been recognised as the best large public relations consultancy in South Africa. The agency won the Best Large Public Relations Consultancy category at the 2025 PRISM Awards, at a gala event at The Galleria, Sandton, on Saturday, 18 October. Flow was also honoured with this accolade in 2022 and 2024, and won Silver in 2023.
"We're on top of the world. Being named Best Large Public Relations Consultancy rewards the hard work, long hours and creative energy of all our wonderful Flowstars. Of course, we also owe this recognition to our clients — we are so grateful to them for trusting us with their brands and reputations," says Flow CEO Tara Turkington.
Flow Managing Director, Tiffany Turkington, says, "Every year, the PRISMS competition gets tougher. We're absolutely thrilled to have won 25 awards in 2025 — and two Gold. We're also proud to have won awards for 10 different clients, showing Flow's depth and ability to deliver high-quality work time and again."
The PRISM Awards assess public relations and communications campaigns for their strategic, creative and professional execution that leads to measurable results. The judges evaluate campaigns across various categories and different sectors, such as healthcare and corporate responsibility; and specific campaign types, such as digital, international and thought leadership, says the agency.
The awards evening closed off a three-day summit, themed, "The Human Factor", that brought industry leaders, academics, agencies, corporate entities and young voices together to explore how the profession can balance technological innovation with authenticity, ethics and trust, the organisation says in a statement.
