Being shortlisted for the Brand Impact Awards is an accolade in itself. Standards are unfalteringly high, and if judges felt that none of the projects submitted in a category met the criteria, that category was cut altogether. Those criteria are:
- A strong, compelling concept that's appropriate for the client
- Beautiful and consistent execution across two or more brand touchpoints
- Branding that stands head and shoulders above the rest of its market sector
Even being the only agency shortlisted in a category does not necessarily mean taking home a coveted BIA trophy on the night. So without further ado, in alphabetical order, here are the 27 agencies that have made the shortlist in the Brand Impact Awards 2019...
