What a day!  We are the only ones in the Baltics to receive an Effie Awards Europe recognition – this time a bronze for our work with Getliņi EKO. The critically important issue of waste sorting and our solution has not only captured the attention of local residents but also achieved significant results. People are sorting more, and festivals are awarding us prizes. Thank you to everyone involved – both our team and the Getliņi EKO team!  And as a marvelous addition, there’s also the Network of the Year award together with McCann Worldgroup. This year is ending with victories!

The significant project Russia's War on Children has received yet another important recognition – we have been shortlisted as a finalist in the Epica Awards 2024!

We've taken one small step by reaching the Effie Awards Europe finals, and another one towards better waste sorting. With small steps and big strides – only now onward to victory! 🍾

Last week at the Golden Drum International Festival of Creativity, we were awarded a bronze for our impactful work – the project Russia's War on Children has earned well-deserved international recognition. A huge thank you to our talented team and incredible partners for their dedication and effort in bringing this project to life. But that’s not all! As part of McCann Worldgroup, we’ve also collectively claimed the prestigious Network of the Year title. This achievement fills us with pride and motivates us to keep creating projects that are just as meaningful and impactful as this one!

This October will definitely be … pink! 💗💗💗 Last year, 411 women in Latvia lost their lives to breast cancer — a stark reminder of the importance of campaigns like “For Your Breast Safety.” The goal of our campaign is to save lives through early detection and awareness. The chance of breast cancer in Latvia is 1 in 8 —far higher than the 1 in 13 million odds of being in a plane crash. Yet there is no safety protocol for women facing this risk. That’s why we introduced the safety instruction — an airline-style breast self-exam guide. On Monday, we launched the pink mobile mammogram, which will travel across Latvia offering free screenings for women over 40. Joined by key figures, including Health Minister Hosams Abu Meri and Foreign Affairs Minister Baiba Braze, we emphasized the life-saving potential of early detection. Early detection saves lives, and our mobile mammogram ensures women in smaller towns have access to vital screenings. At Riga International Airport, we’ve installed two exhibits: 1. 411 pink planes hang from the ceiling, symbolizing the women lost to breast cancer last year. 2. Pink luggage at baggage claim, representing the 1 in 8 statistic. I encourage everyone to support this cause —whether by donating, spreading the word, or reminding the women in your life to prioritize their health with regular checkups and self-exams. For more information, please visit pupkultura.lv This project was a product of hard work and love so I wish to thank everyone who supported this initative.
