One Plus One Communications has been awarded Large PR Consultancy of the Year at the Public Relations Institute of New Zealand (PRINZ) awards, a prestigious recognition that highlights the firm's significant impact on the public relations industry. This win marks the second consecutive year that One Plus One has been recognised in the category, underscoring the business’ outstanding performance in a highly competitive market.
The award was presented at the annual PRINZ awards in May, where One Plus One was recognised alongside consumer agency, Special PR. The accolade comes on the heels of the firm’s impressive growth and resilience, particularly in a challenging business environment.
Kelly Bennett, Managing Director of One Plus One, expressed his pride in the team’s achievement, reflecting on the company’s journey since its founding. “It was incredibly gratifying to be recognised last night, on the merit of what was One Plus One’s tenth year in business, as the leading large corporate PR consultancy in New Zealand. That’s been the goal since day one, and here we are,” he said.
One Plus One’s success has been built on a combination of strategic thinking, a passion for business-minded storytelling, and a commitment to delivering exceptional results for clients. Over the past three years, the company has doubled in size, a testament to its effectiveness and the strength of its client relationships, even in difficult market conditions.
Bennett was quick to acknowledge the contributions of the entire team, saying, “I’m incredibly grateful to work with such an outstanding team and passionate, loyal clients.”
This sentiment was echoed in the recognition of one of their own, Lebron Davis, who was highly commended in the Young PR Practitioner of the Year category. Davis, who has consistently demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication in her work, was celebrated for her contributions to the PR field.
While the agency’s growth and industry recognition have been remarkable, the team at One Plus One is particularly proud of their client relationships, which are at the heart of everything they do. The firm's partnership with Binance ANZ was also highlighted at the PRINZ awards, with the team’s efforts being recognised in the Financial Communications category for outstanding work.
