Following the successful New Zealand launch last week of Russian Standard Vodka Gold, Eleven PR, part of the Whybin TBWA\ Group of Companies, has secured the global PR account for energy innovator RUBENIUS and has also been awarded project-based work for leading professional services firm PPB Advisory.

Based in Dubai, RUBENIUS assists communities, utilities and energy producers intelligently monitor and control their resources, with the goal of achieving less carbon in the process. The company and its affiliates have contracted more than US$6 billion of utility management solutions, and has more than 1,900 employees around the world.

Commenting on the announcement, Eleven PR Managing Partner Kelly Bennett said: “Complementing our existing client base with a growing, global business like RUBENIUS and getting the opportunity to work with a market leader in the environmental sector is a real coup.”In addition, Eleven PR has been appointed to support PPB Advisory, which has 300 staff on both sides of the Tasman and specialises in traditional recovery work and successful turnaround outcomes. The work is project-based and Eleven PR was awarded it after a lengthy competitive pitch.

“Earlier this year we signed an affiliate partnership with Omnicom Group sister company Fleishman-Hillard International Communications, one of the world’s leading strategic communications agencies,” said Kelly Bennett.

“Then we extended our offering to Australia with the establishment of an Eleven PR office in Sydney. To follow those two key developments up by winning new, internationally acclaimed clients (and a bunch of high-profile domestic business) is very timely and something we’re really proud of,” he added.
