Prunet Digital Agency has strengthened its position in Nigeria’s fast-growing digital marketing sector after receiving the Digital Creative Agency of the Year award at the Brand Handlers Summit & Awards 2026, a recognition that underscores the agency’s growing influence in digital innovation, brand strategy and creative communications.
The award was presented during the annual industry gathering in Lagos, where marketing professionals, brand managers, advertising executives, media practitioners and business leaders convened to discuss emerging trends shaping Africa’s marketing communications landscape.
Organisers said Prunet Digital Agency distinguished itself through a consistent track record of innovation-driven campaigns, creative excellence and measurable brand-building strategies that have helped clients navigate an increasingly competitive and digitally driven marketplace.
The recognition comes at a time when businesses across Nigeria and the wider African market are increasing investments in digital channels to engage consumers, strengthen brand visibility and improve customer acquisition. As competition intensifies, agencies capable of combining creativity with data-driven execution are becoming increasingly valuable to corporate brands seeking sustainable growth.
In a further endorsement of the agency’s leadership, Chief Executive Officer, Promise Ekewuba, was honoured with the Distinguished Marketing Professional of the Year award.
According to the organisers, the award acknowledged Ekewuba’s contributions to advancing marketing communications, his commitment to professional excellence and his role in promoting conversations around digital transformation and strategic brand management in Nigeria.
Industry observers say such recognitions reflect the growing importance of leadership and innovation within the marketing ecosystem as brands adapt to changing consumer behaviour, emerging technologies and evolving media consumption patterns.
Responding to the awards, Prunet Digital Agency expressed appreciation to its clients, partners and employees for their continued confidence in the organisation.
“We appreciate our clients, partners and team members for their continued trust and support. These awards motivate us to continue delivering innovative solutions and exceptional value to brands across industries,” the agency said in a statement.
The Brand Handlers Summit & Awards, organised by MARKETING SPACE, celebrates organisations and professionals whose work drives innovation, growth and excellence across Africa’s marketing communications industry.
The 2026 edition was held under the theme, “Marketing the New Africa: Driving Growth Through Innovation, Culture, and Youth Influence,” reflecting the increasing role of technology, cultural relevance and youth engagement in shaping the future of marketing on the continent.
For Prunet Digital Agency, the dual recognition not only highlights recent achievements but also reinforces its ambition to remain at the forefront of digital transformation and creative brand communication in Africa’s evolving marketing landscape.
