Rose's work for Art on the Underground won Best of Show: Branded Campaigns

Organised by Computer Arts magazine, the inaugural Brand Impact Awards were announced last night at a glittering ceremony at the London Film Museum.

The calibre of entries was extremely high, with a raft of leading branding agencies – including johnson banks, hat-trick design, R/GA, Rose and BrandOpus – submitting world-class work across a huge range of disciplines.

There were 21 different market sectors in which agencies could enter projects for consideration. These ranged from traditional heartlands for great branding, such as Culture, Not-for-Profit and Sports, to areas where the standard is often lower – such as Public Sector and Professional Services – but where every so often an incredible piece of work stands head and shoulders above the rest.

You can find out all the details of the winning work, with revealing glimpses into how it was planned and designed, in a free supplement contained in the latest issue of Computer Arts, on sale now.
