MMK+ (Ketchum) and Pantene Win Global Campaign of the Year at PRWeek Global Awards

NEW YORK, May 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading global communications consultancy Ketchum and Pantene were awarded overall best in show at the PRWeek Global Awards, held virtually last week on Twitter. Pantene's "Suéltate El Pelo (Let Your Hair Down)," supported by Ketchum's office in Brazil as part of MMK+, was named Global Campaign of the Year in addition to winning Latin American Campaign of the Year. Ketchum (including MMK+ and Emanate) won a total of 10 PRWeek Global Awards and one High Commendation for work on behalf of its clients.

The Pantene campaign was brought to life with its extensive research behind Latin American women's unifying effort of empowerment and their belief that hair is their most powerful beauty asset. The campaign's creation strategically used these two components to communicate an empowering message to engage the brand's target audience.

"It's incredibly meaningful to see our work recognized on a global stage during this time of adversity, and it reaffirms the value of communication in a world seeking connection," said Barri Rafferty, partner, president and CEO of Ketchum. "I'm grateful for the valued partnerships we have with our clients, who continuously place their trust in us to take risks and explore creative ways to build and nurture relationships with their stakeholders."
