Independent PR agency One Plus One Communications was named Boutique Agency of the Year at the 2025 PR Awards Asia-Pacific, hosted by Campaign Asia in Hong Kong.
The accolade follows One Plus One’s second consecutive win as PR Consultancy of the Year (Large) at the PRINZ Awards.
In a global industry dominated by large international network consultancies, the Boutique Agency category recognises smaller agencies that punch above their weight.
“For both myself and our founder, Kelly Bennett, this is a real career highlight,” says One Plus One general manager Max Burt.
“We’ve always had a lot of ambition for One Plus One and over the last few years we’ve had the privilege of feeling it all come together. The depth of our team, calibre of our clients and quality of our work is something we’re really proud of – and we don’t take it for granted.
“The award was given to One Plus One on the balance of its strong commercial performance through a protracted recession, the breadth of outstanding client work and clear commitment to workplace culture and team development,” Burt adds.
One Plus One managing director Kelly Bennett says: “It’s incredibly special to be recognised as a market-leading PR agency both in New Zealand, and now the Asia-Pacific region.
“I’m deeply aware that ultimately we’re a people based business. We’re only ever as good as our people, our relationships and our clients. I feel that now more than ever, and couldn’t be more proud.”
