Entries welcomed for Transform Awards Nordics 2023

Celebrating its fourth successive year, Transform Awards Nordics 2023 has officially opened for entries. It remains the only awards programme in the region to recognise the transformative power of brand strategy, creativity and design.

Last year’s winners, who set the bar so high for the Transform Awards Nordics awards programme for years to come, included Wirepas and BANG Agency, AAC Clyde Space and Bladonmore, and Yale and Efterklang. The projects entered were judged on best practice in corporate, product and global brand development, with a focus on strategy, execution, content and evaluation.

Adding to the excitement, this year’s Transform Awards Nordics will feature three new categories, including ‘Best expression of a brand on social media channels’ and ‘Best employer brand’. A special recognition category is also set to feature which includes ‘Brand strategist of the year’, ‘Creative director of the year’ and ‘Young contender of the year’. Identifying the most strategic, creative and innovative brand specialists, this section is a celebration of those who are shaping brands and future brands and is the opportunity to show the companies that understand the importance of investing in their talent.

Our panel of judges will, as always, be comprised of experts in the branding, marketing and corporate communications field. They will create a shortlist which recognises the agencies that have excelled this year for their creative or strategic approach to branding work.
