Two Gold Dragons recognised Hayleys Fentons’ work in corporate branding and sustainability, with “PR Corporate Branding” winning in the Public Relations category and “Roots of Resilience” in the Cause, Environment or Sustainability category for its mangrove restoration campaign.
“Anahitiya”, a campaign by Hayleys Solar, secured a Silver Dragon in the Social Media category, recognising its creative approach to digital communication. Meanwhile, Hayleys Mobility secured a Bronze Dragon in the Small Budget Campaign category.
“Drive First, Fly Next”, a campaign by Hayleys Mobility, secured two Black Dragons in the Content Creation and Social Media categories, recognising its strong marketing impact and strategic execution.
Hasith Prematillake, Managing Director of Hayleys Fentons, said, “Ranking second overall at the Dragons of Sri Lanka reflects the creativity and strategic thinking within our organisation. For an engineering-led company competing alongside specialist creative and marketing agencies, the recognition demonstrates the capability of our teams to develop brands and deliver work that stands out.”
