Red Advertising wins awards for breast cancer work

The Angels have smiled on Red Advertising this Christmas with the leading Barbados-based agency copping a major Gold Angel Award for its breast cancer-related work, among a total of three Gold and six Silver Awards won in the 2020 American Advertising Federation Angel Awards.

Red was recognized with a special Gold Award for its body of work on breast cancer awareness across multiple clients, with two additional Gold Awards for its work on the Sagicor Breast Cancer Awareness campaign.

Emerging as a champion in the area of breast cancer awareness, Red also won Silver Awards for campaigns including Abed’s Get Checked Today; BICO’s I Screen; Norman Centre Mall’s Think Pink; The Salvation Army’s Breast Cancer Awareness and Stuart David Garcia Motorsport’s Get Checked Today Social Media Campaign.

Red also won silver for its work on behalf of Sail for Sight, the charity sailing event dedicated to raising funds for the refurbishment of the Lions Eye Care Centre at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

The 2020 Angel Awards cemented Red as Barbados’ most awarded agency for outstanding public service and corporate social responsibility (CSR) work.

Managing Director of Red Jevan Jutagir said while it was always heartwarming to be recognised at the Angel Awards, Red was especially pleased to be able to contribute to Breast Cancer Awareness.

“Winning an Angel is always special whatever the cause, but for us at Red, breast cancer is very near and dear to our hearts.

“It has special meaning for me in particular, as it was just over a year ago that I lost my wife, Donna, to breast cancer, and in her memory and honour, we continue to excel in our work for breast cancer awareness.

“She was my angel and continues to inspire us. This, for me, is personally satisfying as I know that this effort makes a significant contribution to saving lives.” (PR)
