Drofa Comms has been shortlisted for four categories at the European Agency Awards 2026. What’s even more striking is that we’ve swept every category we entered in our first year applying!
The agency is a finalist for Best Agency Culture, shortlisted alongside Opinium, Searchmind and Traffic Today, among others. Drofa Comms was also named a finalist for the Agency Growth & Transformation Award. The category is newly introduced, one of several added to the awards for 2026.
Two members of the team were recognised individually.
Alina Sysoeva is a finalist for Emerging Talent. She is one of two names shortlisted in the category this year, alongside Alessandro Pizzi of SEC Newgate EU. Founder and CEO, Valentina Drofa, is a finalist for Agency Leader of the Year, another category new to 2026. She is shortlisted alongside Gulliver Moore of Sunday Treat.
“Four categories, four shortlists, in our first year of entering,” said Valentina Drofa, Founder and CEO of Drofa Comms. “That says a lot about the whole team, our culture, and ambitions as a PR agency, not just about the last twelve months.”
Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 22 September 2026, in Ibiza.
