Brunnen shortlisted for the SABRE Awards EMEA 2026!

Brunnen has been shortlisted for the SABRE Awards EMEA 2026, one of the most respected, high-calibre international awards in communication and marketing.

The shortlisted work is the result of a strategic communication partnership with the Finnish Water Utilities Association. By engaging the stakeholders most relevant to our client’s objectives at the right time, and through carefully considered actions, the work helped drive legislative change and safeguard the quality of Finland’s tap water.

This year, more than 2,000 entries were submitted across the EMEA region, with only around one in five making it to the final. Finalists were selected by an international jury of 59 experienced communication professionals. The winners will be announced in London on 21 May 2026.

Brunnen’s shortlisted entry is competing in the Nordics category alongside other top entries from across the Nordic region.
