Dr. Bukky George-Taylor, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Robert Taylor Media, has been named Africa’s PR Person of the Year 2025 by Ranks Africa, marking a major milestone in the continent’s public relations industry.
Okay News reports that the recognition was announced under the inaugural Africa Best of the Year Honors, where Ranks Africa assessed more than 5,000 public relations professionals across the continent.
The award acknowledges Dr. George-Taylor’s far-reaching influence, ethical leadership, and sustained contribution to shaping modern public relations practice in Africa.
According to the organisers, the selection process relied on extensive survey-based metrics covering professional consistency, industry influence, campaign effectiveness, ethical standards, and trust among peers and stakeholders. From a highly competitive field, Dr. George-Taylor emerged as one of the most impactful figures redefining strategic communications on the continent.
With close to two decades of experience, she has built Robert Taylor Media into one of Africa’s most respected communications firms, working with leading regional and global brands on reputation management, strategic storytelling, and credibility-driven public engagement. Industry observers note that her leadership has helped position African brands more competitively on the global stage, while also strengthening institutional trust through disciplined narrative management.
Beyond business growth, Dr. George-Taylor is widely recognised for championing a values-based approach to public relations.
Her work emphasises long-term impact, clarity, and integrity, rather than short-term visibility, a philosophy that has earned her respect across corporate, media, and policy circles.
The honour from Ranks Africa further cements her status as a defining voice in African public relations and highlights a broader shift within the industry towards principled influence and sustainable communication strategies.
