The Newmark Group, a Pan-African strategic communications and brand positioning firm, has secured two prestigious awards at the 2024 SABRE Awards ceremony, held recently in Côte d’Ivoire. The accolades were awarded in recognition of the company’s outstanding public relations campaigns for Zipline and Qi Group’s FinGreen program.

Zipline’s communication campaign was recognized in the Corporate Image category for its outstanding execution and impactful results. The campaign was designed to enhance Zipline’s corporate image, emphasizing its innovative approach and commitment to improving logistics and healthcare delivery through drone technology.

Newmark formulated a comprehensive communication strategy, encompassing media relations, social media interactions, Executive Profiling, events, and public relations for the organization in Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria. The campaign successfully highlighted Zipline’s contributions to society, positioning it as a leader in healthcare and technological innovation.



“Fingreen,” Qi Group’s flagship financial literacy program, won in the Diamond category for “Company of the Year,” demonstrating Newmark Group’s prowess in creating impactful and meaningful campaigns. FinGreen is an educational initiative aimed at promoting financial literacy among underserved communities.

Through workshops, seminars, and interactive sessions, the program has empowered individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to manage their finances effectively. The programme had a coverage of 1,000 trainees or trainers focusing on key topics in a bid to reduce poverty and support economic development while promoting financial inclusion and stability in disadvantaged populations. This award recognizes the program’s positive impact on communities and its role in fostering economic empowerment.
