Communiqué Communications Consultancy of the Year

Summary of work

Evoke KYNE has its heritage in two strong health communications agencies, KYNE and Evoke PR & Influence, which joined forces in May 2019. Together, we have proven to be greater than the sum of our parts. During a year of significant transformation, results exceeded expectations – seeing nearly 25% growth and more than 15 new clients. Driven by our mantra that intent is nothing without action, we have actively worked to make a difference in everything we do, from outbreak response to malaria elimination. Our more than 110-strong team is united in the belief that we are not just an agency; we are a family – a family committed to making a sustainable impact in health, while creating the ‘best place to work’. The partnerships we broker and relationships we foster, combined with our digital, earned media and public health prowess, provide us with the ability to bring about positive change for people all around the world.

We have new offices, new clients and new ideas, but what has remained the same is our purpose-driven mission and commitment to our people and clients.

Working together, we are now in a stronger position than ever to change the world for the better.

Judges' comments

During a year of transition, the firm remained focused on the reasons for the merger between Evoke and KYNE, anticipating likely disruption in order to ensure that every member of the team was on the same page as quickly as possible. The judges felt that Evoke KYNE is really conscious of its strengths and is able to play to them and is particularly aware of employee strengths.
