In a landmark moment for Kenya’s creative industry, dentsu Kenya has clinched both a Gold and the coveted Grand Prix at the prestigious Loeries Awards for its groundbreaking campaign, Tusker “Stitched with Cheer.” This marks a historic first for a Kenyan agency, placing the country firmly on the global creative map.

The campaign, a vibrant fusion of culture, craft, and community, reimagined the iconic Tusker brand through a bold celebration of Kenyan identity stitched into every thread of the experience. “Stitched with Cheer” is more than a campaign; it’s a movement that honours the spirit of togetherness and the artistry of local expression.

“This win is not just for dentsu it’s for Kenya,” said Joel Rao, CEO dentsu Kenya, “It’s proof that world-class creativity is thriving here, driven by bold ideas, cultural authenticity, and a new generation of innovators.”

A New Era for Kenyan Creativity
