PR Wire Sri Lanka, a leading strategic public relations consultancy and member of Wire Communication Consultancy Holdings, has been named ‘Best Consultancy to Work For – Asia-Pacific, South Asia’ by PRovoke Media, marking the fourth consecutive year the company has received the prestigious recognition.
The consultancy was presented with the honour alongside leading communications firms from across the region at the Asia-Pacific SABRE Awards ceremony held at The Westin Singapore.
The recognition follows an independent regional assessment based largely on confidential employee feedback. PR Wire recorded strong scores across key areas including workplace culture, collaboration, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), ethical leadership and employee mental health and wellbeing.
Organised by PRovoke Media, the Best Agencies to Work For index evaluates communications consultancies across the Asia-Pacific region, recognising organisations that demonstrate a strong commitment to people-centred management and employee experience.
Ashan Kumar, Founder and Managing Director of PR Wire (Pvt) Ltd, said the recognition demonstrates the strength of Sri Lankan talent and the importance of investing in people.
“This honor proves that Sri Lankan talent can stand alongside the region’s best, firmly positioning our nation on the global communications map as a benchmark for purpose-driven excellence. Our belief is simple, when you invest genuinely in your people, their well-being, and their professional growth, exceptional client work and industry innovation naturally follow,” he said.
PR Wire’s workplace model includes a ‘work from anywhere’ approach, continuous professional development through structured leadership programmes, employee wellbeing initiatives and equal-opportunity frameworks.
These initiatives have contributed to the consultancy’s reputation as a talent development platform for strategic communications professionals in South Asia.
Nipuni Perera, Group Manager – Talent & Culture at Wire Communication Consultancy Holdings, said the recognition reflected the efforts of the entire team.
“This honor belongs entirely to our team. We continuously refine our policies to ensure everyone feels valued, heard, and supported in their career trajectory. Fostering a workplace culture where mental well-being, progressive learning, and dynamic collaboration coexist remains our highest priority as we expand our regional footprint,” she said.
Vogue Jewellers Appoints Cricket Icon Kumar Sangakkara as Brand Ambassador
Vogue Jewellers has appointed Sri Lankan cricket legend and globally respected sportsman Kumar Sangakkara as its new Brand Ambassador, bringing together two prominent Sri Lankan names built on excellence, integrity and a commitment to maintaining the highest standards.
The partnership marks a new chapter for Vogue Jewellers, which has spent more than six decades building its reputation around trust, craftsmanship, innovation and enduring quality.
Sangakkara’s journey from Sri Lanka to the international cricketing stage reflects many of the values associated with the Vogue brand. Having represented Sri Lanka at the highest level of world cricket, he has earned recognition both on and beyond the sporting arena for his discipline, consistency, leadership and pursuit of excellence.
Vogue Jewellers, meanwhile, has taken Sri Lankan jewellery craftsmanship to international markets, earning more international jewellery design awards than any other Sri Lankan jeweller while introducing quality standards and guarantees that have contributed to the development of the local jewellery industry.
Speaking at the official signing ceremony, Anura Hemachandra, Managing Director of Vogue Jewellers, said the partnership was built on a strong alignment of values.
“This is much more than an association between a brand and an ambassador. Kumar and Vogue represent two distinctly Sri Lankan journeys that have earned recognition beyond our shores. What connects those journeys is a relentless pursuit of excellence, a respect for one’s craft and, above all, the understanding that a reputation of lasting value is built over time,” he said.
He added that Sangakkara’s discipline, integrity and consistency closely reflect the principles that Vogue Jewellers has upheld throughout its six-decade journey.
“For more than six decades, Vogue has stood for trust, craftsmanship, innovation and uncompromising standards. Kumar’s achievements speak for themselves, but equally important to us are the discipline, integrity and consistency with which he has built his reputation. These are values that resonate very strongly with who we are as a brand,” Hemachandra said.
