TPT International, a strategic communications and reputation management consultancy, has received two major honours at the 2026 EDGE Awards organised by Marketing Edge. The consultancy was named Outstanding Strategic Communications and Reputation Management Agency of the Year and its Founder and Chief Consultant, Adetokunbo Modupe, recognised as a PR Industry Legend.
The double recognition highlights TPT International’s growing contribution to strategic communications, reputation management and corporate positioning, while also celebrating Modupe’s longstanding influence and contribution to Nigeria’s public relations industry.
The awards, presented at the 2026 edition of the EDGE Awards, underscore the importance of strategic communication in helping organisations navigate an increasingly complex business and reputational environment.
Speaking on the recognition, Modupe expressed gratitude to Marketing Edge, clients, partners and the TPT International team for the honours. “This recognition is deeply humbling because it represents two dimensions of the work we have committed ourselves to over the years, building institutions through strategic communications and contributing to the growth and professional development of the PR industry,” Modupe said.
He described the award to TPT International as a recognition of the collective effort of the consultancy’s professionals, clients and partners. “The Outstanding Strategic Communications and Reputation Management Agency award belongs to the entire TPT International family. It reflects the confidence our clients have placed in us and the dedication of our team to delivering communication strategies that are thoughtful, credible, relevant and capable of creating lasting value.”
Modupe also described his recognition as a PR Industry Legend as both an honour and a responsibility. “Being recognised as a PR Industry Legend is particularly meaningful to me. Public relations is an industry that continues to evolve, and I have been privileged to witness and participate in many stages of that evolution. I see this recognition not simply as a celebration of the past, but as an encouragement to continue contributing to the future of the profession.”
He added that the changing communications landscape requires practitioners to go beyond conventional publicity and embrace deeper strategic thinking. “The role of communication today goes far beyond getting messages into the media. It is about trust, reputation, stakeholder relationships, leadership positioning and helping organisations communicate with clarity in moments of both opportunity and crisis. That is where the real value of strategic communications lies.”
According to Modupe, TPT International will continue to focus on helping organisations build credible reputations and communicate effectively with their stakeholders. “At TPT International, our ambition remains clear: to help organisations understand that reputation is an asset that must be deliberately built, consistently protected and responsibly managed. This recognition strengthens our resolve to keep raising the standard.”
The double recognition also reinforces TPT International’s position within Nigeria’s evolving communications industry, where organisations increasingly require integrated approaches to reputation, stakeholder engagement, corporate communications and strategic positioning.
The consultancy’s recognition as Outstanding Strategic Communications and Reputation Management Agency of the Year reflects its institutional contribution, while Modupe’s Legend recognition acknowledges his individual career and contribution to the broader PR profession.
Modupe dedicated the honours to the professionals who have contributed to his journey and to the wider communications community. “I share this recognition with the many colleagues, mentors, clients, journalists, partners and young professionals who have been part of my journey. No professional achievement happens in isolation. I am grateful for every relationship, every challenge and every opportunity that has shaped the work we do.”
The 2026 EDGE Awards, organised by Marketing Edge, brought together professionals and organisations across the marketing communications ecosystem to celebrate outstanding performance, innovation and industry contribution.
For TPT International, the two honours mark a significant milestone in its journey and reinforce its commitment to delivering strategic communications and reputation management solutions in an increasingly complex and competitive environment.
