Wānaka’s Scope Communications has been recognised as the best Small to Medium PR Consultancy in New Zealand at the Public Relations Institute of New Zealand (PRINZ) Awards.

The boutique marketing communications and digital PR consultancy received the award at PRINZ’s annual industry awards ceremony in Auckland on Wednesday (May 28).

“Our goal is to be a nationally-regarded communications consultancy that achieves positive, lasting impact for our clients and communities through innovation and best-practise,” Scope Communications managing director Celia Crosbie said.

“Receiving this recognition - especially alongside other consultancies with a longstanding record of being the best in the business - is a fantastic accomplishment.”

Remarks from the independent judging panel commended Scope’s “strong entry that shows strategic success and adaptability in challenging times”.

“The strategic approach is embedded in all aspects of the entry which reflects the focus of the agency in delivering on its purpose … Scope Communications is a credit to the PR industry.”

Scope Communications celebrates 12 years in business this year (2025) and has clients across a range of industries throughout New Zealand.

Scope received gold for the same category in 2022 and silver in 2024. Celia was also elected as a PRINZ board member at the PRINZ AGM on Tuesday (May 27).
