COMARP Awards will recognize Communication

For the second consecutive year, the Mozambique COMARP Awards will celebrate the talent and excellence of professionals in the areas of Communication, Marketing and Public Relations, in a ceremony scheduled for next September in the city of Maputo. The initiative, which has established itself as a national benchmark in the recognition of professional merit, promises to bring together specialists, companies, young talent, and institutions that, over the past year, have distinguished themselves through their significant contribution to organizational growth, strategic innovation, and social impact. This year, the COMARP Awards expands its reach with the introduction of several categories, encompassing both institutions and industry professionals. The corporate categories seek to recognize impactful campaigns, strategies, and projects developed by companies, agencies, and organizations. The individual categories aim to highlight emerging talent and professionals who have distinguished themselves through their contributions, creativity, or leadership. According to Yud da Costa, coordinator of the Communication, Marketing, and Public Relations Forum (COMARP Forum), the distinctions awarded are not merely formal. They represent, above all, a symbol of identity, belonging, and dignity for the professionals who construct the narratives and discourses that drive companies, brands, and institutions. As the coordinator explained, the award has the merit of placing the protagonists of Communication, Marketing and Public Relations in Mozambique at center stage, from companies, the most experienced professionals to emerging talents, giving them due recognition for their creativity, impact and commitment. "These awards have the unique advantage of giving a face, voice, and platform to professionals, companies, young talent, and institutions that are transforming the communications, marketing, and public relations sector in Mozambique. It's a way to publicly recognize the merit of these professionals," he stated. The COMARP Awards are distinguished by a transparent and rigorous evaluation process, led by an independent jury. This panel is comprised of renowned professionals with extensive experience in various fields, including communications, marketing, and public relations, from various countries. According to Vicente Sitoe, a member of the Jury, the award selection process follows rigorous criteria that ensure the integrity and merit of the awards. The evaluation takes into account factors such as professional experience, the impact of the work developed in the corporate world and on society, among others. In the inaugural edition, held in 2024, more than 30 professionals and organizations were honored, with a special mention for the "Career Award" awarded to Leandro Paul, recognized as one of the most influential voices in corporate communications in the country. This emblematic distinction served to celebrate a professional career marked by consistency, innovation, and leadership in the sector, and set a prestigious precedent for future editions of the COMARP Awards.
