Stratworks Accelerates Growth with Major Global Award Wins for WTA, Jollibee, and Lalamove Campaigns

Stratworks’ 2026 Award Wins at a Glance

Stratworks continued its strong awards momentum in 2026, earning major recognitions for campaigns that connected brands with audiences through real-time storytelling, experiential engagement, consumer education, and customer-focused experiences.

These awards reinforce Stratworks’ ability to develop integrated PR campaigns that create meaningful connections across digital, social, physical, and consumer touchpoints.

WTA Philippine Women’s Open: Turning a Historic Sports Moment into Real-Time Engagement

Stratworks won three Stevie International Business Awards for the WTA Philippine Women’s Open: Gold for Experiential Event, Gold for Most Innovative Use of Social Media, and Silver for Sporting Event.

To maximize national excitement and extend the tournament’s reach, Stratworks created an integrated digital newsroom that delivered real-time social coverage as matches and stories unfolded. This allowed audiences to follow the action across digital platforms while keeping the conversation active throughout the tournament.

The agency also brought the experience beyond the court through an interactive Fan Zone, where fans could engage with tennis stars through meet-and-greets, including appearances by players such as Alex Eala. By combining real-time digital storytelling with physical experiences, Stratworks helped transform the tournament into a broader cultural and social moment.

“Historic moments demand agile storytelling. Our real-time digital newsroom for the WTA Philippine Women’s Open brought the story to audiences across every court and platform as history unfolded. These wins reflect our commitment to innovating how brands elevate their narratives in an always-on digital world.”

— Donna Nievera-Conda, President and Co-CEO of Stratworks

Lalamove Padala 101: Using PR to Empower Consumers

Stratworks also earned two Gold Stevie Awards for Lalamove’s Padala 101 campaign: Gold for Achievement in Consumer PR for an Existing Service and Gold for Security/Safety in the Video Category.

The safety-focused campaign used practical consumer education to help users avoid common delivery mistakes and online scams. Rather than simply promoting a service, Padala 101 provided useful information that empowered consumers to make safer and more informed choices.

The campaign demonstrates how effective public relations can go beyond visibility by addressing real consumer needs and building trust through relevant, purposeful communication.

Jollibee’s National Day of Joy: Creating Brand Connections Through Experience

For Jollibee, Stratworks won Gold for Excellence in Customer Engagement at the 2026 Marketing Excellence Awards for National Day of Joy.

Held during the International Day of Happiness, the campaign brought moments of joy to commuters and mallgoers through memorable brand experiences. By taking the brand directly into consumers’ everyday environments, the activation transformed an ordinary day into an opportunity for meaningful engagement.

The campaign demonstrates the power of experiential PR and customer engagement to create emotional connections that extend beyond traditional advertising.
