Transform Awards Nordics 2022 now open for entries

Coming back for a third year, the Transform Awards Nordics has officially opened for entries into its 2022 awards programme. The awards is the only awards programme to celebrate the transformative power of brand strategy, creativity and design throughout the region.

The awards recognises best practice in corporate, product and global brand development work, with categories that focus on strategy, execution, content and evaluation. Previous winners include Storytel and Efterklang, Swedish Arts Council and Tegel & Hatt Design Agency, Geely and Ojity, and Klimatum AB Vattenfall and Brand Arena Nordic Group.

“The work we’ve seen entered in the past two years has been fabulous. It has been an honour to showcase the creativity and strategic thought that has come out of the region; albeit virtually. However next year we will finally have the celebration that such great work deserves. I was in Copenhagen last week, I’m Finland next week and planning trips to Oslo and Stockholm. It’s so exciting meeting some of the previous winners and talking to those considering entering next year,” says Andrew Thomas, publisher of Transform magazine and founder of the Transform Awards Nordics.

The judges, formed by a panel of experts in the branding, marketing advertising and corporate communications field, will create a shortlist recognising those agencies and businesses that excelled for their creative or strategic approach to their branding work.
