Standard Bank Offshore has been awarded Gold for Best Overall PR at the prestigious Citywealth Brand & Marketing Awards 2026.
The accolade celebrates the success of Standard Bank Offshore’s strategic communications and employer branding programme, including its innovative Why Wait campaign, which was designed to build meaningful connections with specialist talent while showcasing the organisation’s culture, values and long-term career opportunities.
Now in their tenth year, the Citywealth Brand & Marketing Awards recognise organisations demonstrating excellence and innovation across wealth management and financial services. The awards were presented during a ceremony at the Great Scotland Yard Hotel in Westminster, London, hosted by broadcaster and former BBC Chief News presenter Rebecca Jones. Winners were determined through a combination of independent industry judging and public voting.

Their work has played an integral role in strengthening our brand, showcasing what makes Standard Bank Offshore a great place to build a career and helping us attract exceptional talent.
