Contents

There are three tiers of awards. A Global Award is presented to international brands, a Regional Award is presented to brands that are the top in several countries in a particular geographic region, and a National Award is presented to brands from participating countries. [3] The awards trophy is on display at the Museum of Brands, Packaging & Advertising in London. [4] The award's Brand of the Year logo is a registered trademark. [5]

The 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 award ceremonies took place at Kensington Palace in London. [6] [7] [8]

In 2017, the first Animalis Edition, an award ceremony dedicated to pet and animal branding, was held in the Hofburg Palace in Vienna. [9] It is the world's largest animal and pet branding awards ceremony. [10] The second Animalis Edition was held at the same venue in 2019. [11]

Nominations, judging, and scoring

Nominations for the awards can be made by brands' owners, custodians, agencies, or the public. [3] There are three tiers of awards: a Global Award is presented to international brands that have a presence in ten or more countries, on three or more continents, limited to the top 100 global brands in any particular year; a Regional Award is presented to brands that are the top in several countries in a particular geographic region; and a National Award, which is presented to the top brands in participating countries at the awards. Brands that are global winners are not awarded again on a national level. [3]

Winners of the awards are judged through three streams: brand valuation, consumer market research, and public online voting. There are also other awards for individuals voted for by the World Branding Forum Advisory Council. [1] Winners go through an assessment process to determine the level of work put in by a brand for their branding activities. The level of trust that the brands’ customers and the public have for the brand is also taken into account. [13]
