Aberje Award 2019 presents the best of Brazilian Communication

BRK Ambiental is the company of the year at the Aberje Award 2019; National winners of the 15 Award categories are also revealed

The 45th edition of the Aberje Award recognized the main organizations and professionals for contributing to the promotion of good practices in business communication in the country this year. This time, the highlight as the company of the year was for BRK Ambiental Participações.

Totalling 15 categories, the Award was divided into three thematic axes — which included communication projects promoted by companies, press offices, agencies, and organizations from all over the country, associated or not with Aberje, linked to themes such as Diversity and Inclusion, Society, Brand, Sustainability, Consumer, Event, Internal Audience, Print Media, among others.

The award was divided into five regions, through which organizations competed for the Regional Award, and their 58 winners were automatically ranked to compete for the Brazil Award.

Communication professionals who were most prominent in 2019, for their work inside and outside their respective companies, were also awarded. As with every issue, the ten names were opened for popular voting, and the public was chosen by Fernão Silveira, FCA – Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Director of Corporate Communications and Sustainability for Latin America. During the awards, Aberje announced the theme that will work throughout the year 2020: Nonviolent Communication. “We need to reinforce an approach that supports the building of communication that privileges respect and the feeling of humanity,” says Paulo Nassar, Aberje’s CEO and USP full professor.
