Redtorch Communications Secures Double Win at Next Awards Philippines 2026

RedTorch Communications received two Bronze awards at the NEXT Awards Philippines 2026, held on Thursday, 10 September 2026, at Shangri-La The Fort in Bonifacio Global City. The recognition highlighted the agency’s ability to translate diverse brand ambitions into relevant consumer experiences.

The agency was recognized for Most Innovative Public Relations Agency of the Year.

RedTorch was named Most Innovative Public Relations Agency of the Year for a body of work spanning beauty and personal care, food and beverage, entertainment, and other consumer categories.

In beauty and personal care, the agency brought science, celebrity, and product innovation together through a large-scale gala for a globally recognized skincare brand, and transformed specialized scalp-care research into an immersive platform for product discovery and expert-led conversations.

In food, beverage, and entertainment, RedTorch helped reintroduce an iconic global personalization campaign to a new generation, and supported a major music platform by bringing local and international artists, media, creators, fan groups, and communities together through a cross-genre concert experience.

Across these executions, RedTorch contributed to strategy, concept development, media relations, creator engagement, guest curation, community outreach, and on-ground production, extending each campaign beyond the event itself through earned stories, social content, and audience participation.

“Our work sits at the point where a brand wants to enter a space it hasn’t owned before,” said Leah Caringal, Founder and CEO of RedTorch Communications. “Seven years in, what we’ve built is the ability to read a category quickly, find the cultural entry point, and make it credible on the ground. The categories change. The discipline doesn’t.“

The agency was recognized for Most Innovative Event Marketing Campaign for a sports-led body care platform developed with Vaseline Philippines.

The agency also won the Most Innovative Event Marketing Campaign for the Vaseline Glow Up Sports Club, developed with Vaseline Philippines. Built around the growing tennis, pickleball, and padel communities, the campaign moved body care into active lifestyle spaces where it had not traditionally been part of the conversation. Through a series of sports-led experiences, the agency established a credible role for the brand within the routines of active consumers, connecting healthy, glowing skin with confidence in movement.

The double recognition reflects the collective work of RedTorch and its clients, whose trust and openness enabled the agency to explore new formats and bring ambitious ideas to life. It also recognizes the creators, media, experts, suppliers, and communities that strengthened each campaign.

The NEXT Awards Philippines, presented by MARKETECH APAC, recognizes campaigns, agencies, organizations, teams, and individuals that advance marketing through creativity and innovation.
