TPT International, also known as The Preferred Team, has won two honours at the 2026 EDGE Awards organised by Marketing Edge.
The communications consultancy was named Outstanding Strategic Communications and Reputation Management Agency of the Year, while its Founder and Chief Consultant, Adetokunbo Modupe, was recognised as a PR Industry Legend.
The awards recognise TPT International’s work in strategic communications and reputation management and Modupe’s contribution to the public relations industry.
Established in 1997, TPT International provides services covering corporate communications, marketing public relations, public affairs, crisis communication, reputation management and strategic counselling.
The consultancy said the recognition comes as organisations increasingly focus on reputation, stakeholder engagement and strategic communication alongside traditional media relations.
The awards add to recent industry recognition for the company. Earlier in September, TPT International was listed in the inaugural Africa Consultancy Performance Index 2026, published by Earned First.
According to the company, the index assessed consultancies based on business performance, creative impact and client outcomes, innovation and thought leadership, talent and culture, and industry leadership.
Modupe, a communications practitioner and Harvard Business School alumnus, has worked in public relations, marketing communications and strategic advisory roles for several years.
Under his leadership, TPT International has expanded its operations across Africa and maintained an alliance with global communications network WE Communications.
Commenting on the awards, Modupe described the recognition as another milestone for the consultancy and said the organisation remained focused on its future.
“We know where we are today, and we know where we are building towards. This is a starting line, not a finish line. We will keep building,” he said.
The two awards recognise both TPT International’s institutional work and Modupe’s individual contribution to the public relations sector.
