Atmosphere's growing reputation was mirrored at this year's Prism PR awards: gold, silver and bronze awards for clients as diverse as kulula.com, FitFlop and Sanlam Employee Benefits.

The top award, and the overall Prism winning campaign, was the media relations campaign repositioning Sanlam Investment Management as a third-party asset manager.

The only downside last year was the loss of the R210 000 Triumph account. More than balancing this was R1,8m in new retainer and project business from the likes of Plascon, Chevron, Bushmills and KWV.
