Sabre Awards is the largest and most prestigious international competition for communications and PR, with almost 2500 submissions. The golds were awarded to the campaign #Uncute by GK Sweden and the Swedish Association of Professional Veterinary Clinics and the case “Disrupting the Funeral Industry” by GK Norway and the funeral agency Fonus. GK was also awarded five certificates of excellence for other works.

– We’re very happy with the result. It was also great to be nominated for best Nordic agency – for the second year in a row! Our two golds and our certificates prove what we can do. It’s especially nice that both GK Sweden and GK Norway won a gold each. Now, we’re already thinking ahead to the Sabre Awards 2017. We have a lot of work in production that we believe has great potential, says Morten Hofgaard Jørstad, CEO of Geelmuyden Kiese Norway.
