Red Media Africa Adds Uber Account To Its Impressive PR Portfolio
Red Media Africa has been announced as Uber Nigeria's official PR agency. This new addition to Red Media Africa’s PR portfolio follows a streak of impressive wins over the last one year that has seen the agency win and manage several accounts including Facebook, Nigerian Breweries and Union Bank.
Earlier in the year, Red Media Africa won the Young PR Agency of the Year award at the 2016 Marketing Edge Brands and Advertising Awards. With this new win, the agency stands firmly on top of the list of brands looking to reach out to the Nigerian and African youth.
Red Media Africa’s mission which has always been to reach and influence the largest number of African youth at any time has been a major factor that has helped it attract top brands like Uber and Facebook in the past few months.
"We are really excited to be working with Uber. For us at Red Media Africa, we align our brand with companies whose products and services help people become more and do more," said Sola Obagbemi, Senior Manager, Communication at Red Media Africa while speaking about the win. "Uber is a poster example as their impact on the tech ecosystem globally has been nothing short of outstanding. We are excited to manage the company’s communication as it enters a new growth phase and helps more Nigerians move from one point to another."
Red Media Africa will lead on Uber’s communication, relationship building activities and activations in Nigeria and Ghana as the company looks to expand its operations and help millions more Nigerians move from one point to another without hassles.
