Ghanaian public relations agency Elite PR has been nominated for PR Agency of the Year at the West African Citizens Awards (WAFRIC Awards) 2026, earning recognition for its work representing artists, brands and organisations across Africa and the diaspora.
The nomination places Elite PR on the awards committee’s newly announced shortlist alongside other contenders from across the continent. With this year’s ceremony approaching, the recognition marks another milestone in the agency’s six-year journey within the public relations industry.
Over the years, Elite PR has worked to strengthen the public image and visibility of its clients through strategic campaigns and communications. Its work across entertainment, branding and reputation management has helped establish the agency as a partner for individuals and organisations seeking to connect with audiences in Africa and internationally.
The latest nomination reflects the agency’s continued efforts to tell client stories with authenticity while developing campaigns designed to expand their reach and influence. It also aligns with Elite PR’s ambition to grow its presence within Africa’s public relations landscape.
Founder and CEO Francis “Banks” Amissah described the nomination as a reflection of the work the team has put into representing its clients and helping them make an impact.
“This nomination stands as a testament to the work we’ve put into representing clients and helping make their impact felt,” he said. “At Elite PR, we’re committed to delivering the best possible experience for our clients while ensuring their stories are told with authenticity and flair. We’re grateful to be recognised alongside some of the industry’s finest and inspired to keep raising the bar.”
The WAFRIC Awards celebrates individuals and organisations whose work contributes to development and progress across West Africa. Over the past five years, the platform has recognised achievements across multiple sectors, promoting a culture of appreciation for contributions that might otherwise go unnoticed.
The 2026 edition will be held under the theme “Recognizing the Unseen. Celebrating the Exceptional,” reflecting the awards’ focus on highlighting outstanding work and the people and organisations behind it.
For Elite PR, the nomination represents an important moment in its development and an opportunity to have its work recognised alongside other names in the industry. The agency will now look ahead to the awards as it continues building its reputation across Ghana, Africa and the diaspora.
