Edelman and its clients took home the most Gold trophies SABRE trophies—presented for Superior Achievement in Branding, Reputation & Engagement—with seven wins, ahead of Ogilvy (six) and Weber Shandwick (four). Other multiple winners included Burson-Marsteller and Shanghai-based boutique Vitamine (three each) and Singaporean firm AKA Asia, corporate specialist Brunswick Group, and technology agencies Text 100 and Waggener Edstrom with two each.
But Ogilvy also took home the Platinum SABRE Award for the best PR program of 2013 for its work on the “Pambassadors” campaign, on behalf of the city of Chengdu. The campaign harnessed social media to create a story that reached 900 media outlets across 30 countries and drove a 30 percent increase in international visitors.
That campaign beat out four other strong contenders for Platinum honors, edging out local boutique Vitamine’s efforts to help Johnson’s Baby Powder recover from a crisis by campaigning on behalf of “work and pump” moms; Weber Shandwick Corporate Voices work for P&G’s Gillette brand, mobilizing Indian women to demand that their men shave in the evening before getting intimate; Brunswick’s efforts to help Sinopec after its plastic pellets started washing up on the Hong Kong coast after a cargo vessel sank; and Burson-Marsteller and Mango Media’s support for Telenor in its successful bid for one of two government licenses in Myanmar.
“A record number of entries in this year’s SABRE competition yielded an incredible variety of great campaigns, from CSR in China to public affairs in Myanmar to crisis management in Hong Kong,” says Paul Holmes, editor of The Holmes Report and chairman of the SABRE jury. “But Ogilvy’s work for Chengdu showed what a simple idea, well executed across traditional and social media, can do to drive real results: a substantial increase in tourism from markets around the world.”
