Transform Awards MEA 2023 open for entries
Celebrating its 10th anniversary of rebranding and brand development throughout the region, Transform is proud to announce the launch of its MEA awards programme once again. With the belief that branding excellence can be found in every city, country and region, the awards seek to recognise best practice in corporate, product and global brand development work.
The 2022 edition of the awards programme was epitomised by the sky-high quality of work entered. With no project was this better evidenced than with Grand prix winners AD Ports Group and Saffron Brand Consultants, whose brilliant work also secured five Gold awards. This trend is expected to continue next year in a region where branding work has truly flourished.
As always, the independent panel of judges who create the shortlist is set to be formed by experts in the world of branding, marketing and corporate communications. They will dissect every project before deciding on the best across the fields of strategy, execution, content and evaluation.
Andrew Thomas, Transform’s publisher and founder of the awards, says, “Over the past 10 years of hosting the Transform Awards in the Middle East and Africa, we at Transform have been delighted to see the remarkable growth of brand development in the region and reflect this success in our awards programmes. We look forward to carrying on our celebration of the transformative power of brand strategy, creativity and design at the Transform Awards MEA 2023.”
Any organisation can enter the Transform Awards, providing the strategy or execution was developed, launched or carried out between July 2021 and January 2023. The 2023 edition of the awards will see the introduction of three exciting new categories including ‘Best expression of a brand on social media channels’ and ‘Best employer brand’. The ‘Special recognition’ section also confirms the additions of ‘Brand strategist of the year’, ‘Creative director of the year’, and ‘Young contender of the year’.
