Blanche Aigle Communications Earns Cannes Lions 2026 Shortlist and Sabre Awards EMEA Finalist Recognition for Gino World Jollof Festival Campaign

Blanche Aigle Communications, a leading pan-african communications and public relations agency based in Lagos, Nigeria, has earned international recognition for its work on the Gino World Jollof Festival with Hilda Baci, with the campaign shortlisted in the Brand Experience & Activation category at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2026.

Selected from 1,551 entries worldwide, the campaign ranks among the top 158 shortlisted entries globally, placing Nigerian creativity, culture, and communications excellence on one of the world's most prestigious creative stages.

The campaign has also been named a Finalist at the SABRE Awards EMEA 2026 under the Diamond Geographic Category for Africa, further highlighting its impact as a culturally resonant campaign that delivered both meaningful audience engagement and measurable business results.

Developed and executed by Blanche Aigle Communications in partnership with Gino and culinary sensation, Hilda Baci, the Gino World Jollof Festival transformed Nigeria's most beloved dish into a global cultural conversation, gaining two Guinness World Records and over 6 billion media impressions globally. The campaign combined strategic communications, public relations, experiential PR, event management, influencer engagement, and integrated storytelling to create a record-breaking experience that captured national and international attention.

Speaking on the recognition, Nene Bejide, Lead Consultant and Founder of Blanche Aigle Communications, said:

"Being recognised by both Cannes Lions and the SABRE Awards is a testament to the power of culturally relevant storytelling and integrated communications. The Gino World Jollof Festival demonstrated what is possible when strategy, creativity, execution, and authentic cultural insight come together to create experiences that resonate deeply with audiences. We are incredibly proud of this achievement and grateful to Gino, Hilda Baci, our partners, and our exceptional team for believing in and bringing this vision to life."
