Wayak Communications Shines Bright with Dual Wins at 2025 MEA Markets Awards
In a moment of celebration for Egypt's communications industry, Wayak Communications has emerged victorious at the 2025 African Excellence Awards, securing two top honors: Best Boutique Public Relations Agency and Excellence in Crisis Management in the Middle East and Africa. The prestigious accolades were granted by UK-based platform MEA Markets, which lauded the agency's creative vision, resilience, and impact across a wide array of industries.
Founded in 2013, Wayak Communications has carved a reputation as one of Egypt's most trusted and dynamic PR firms. With its headquarters in Cairo, the agency has spent over a decade refining its approach to public relations, combining strategic expertise with hands-on partnership—a philosophy embodied in its enduring slogan, Always Wayak.
A Decade of Purpose-Driven Growth
The MEA Markets jury commended Wayak for its tailored communication strategies and ability to manage high-stakes challenges. From real estate and pharmaceuticals to logistics and education, Wayak's portfolio reflects the diversity and depth of its expertise. Clients past and present include global and regional heavyweights such as Otsuka Japan, Mapei Italy, Giza Systems, and Egyptian leaders like Hikma Pharmaceuticals, IGI Developments, Tatweer Misr, CRED, and MIDAR.
At the core of this success is a deeply collaborative culture. 'From the very beginning, our goal was simple—to be the closest to our clients,' said Nihal Attia, Chairman of Wayak Communications. 'Our motto is not just a slogan; it's a daily practice. We've built an agency where creativity thrives, and where each solution is custom-built to suit our partners' evolving needs.'
This philosophy has proven particularly effective in crisis scenarios, where the firm's blend of agility, analytical precision, and deep media understanding has enabled clients to navigate turbulent times with clarity and confidence.
Setting a New Standard in PR Partnerships
Echoing that sentiment, Amany Aboul Fetouh, Managing Partner of Wayak Communications, emphasized the agency's commitment to long-term partnerships. 'We go beyond traditional PR,' she explained. 'Wayak is an extension of our clients' teams. That trust is earned through strategic thinking, transparency, and results.'
The award for Excellence in Crisis Management is especially meaningful, she added, as it recognizes the firm's ability to guide clients through complex challenges, offering clarity and solutions in moments of uncertainty. 'In every crisis or challenge, we stand beside our clients—step by step.'
The Power Behind the Name
Behind the agency's name—Wayak, meaning With You in Arabic—is a philosophy that guides both internal culture and client relationships. The team is a key pillar of Wayak's achievements, bringing together diverse expertise in media, communications, analytics, and stakeholder engagement. This cohesive, mission-driven team is credited with transforming the agency into a leading voice in Egypt's PR landscape.
Wayak's ability to harness data-driven tools and modern communication technologies has also positioned it at the forefront of an industry undergoing rapid evolution. Whether it's navigating digital disruption, managing reputational risk, or amplifying brand messages, Wayak continues to lead with agility and purpose.
Looking Ahead
As the communications landscape in the Middle East and Africa becomes more complex and competitive, Wayak's double win at the 2025 MEA Markets Awards signals not just recognition, but a reaffirmation of the agency's strategic clarity, client commitment, and industry leadership.
With a clear focus on transparency, flexibility, and professionalism, Wayak Communications shows no signs of slowing down. In an industry where trust is earned and impact is measured in results, the agency is setting a new benchmark—Always Wayak, and always ahead.
