A prestigious awards celebrating global branding

The Brand Impact Awards (BIAs), now in their 12th year, are back and open for entries!

Organized by Creative Bloq, the BIAs have become the pinnacle of branding excellence, showcasing creative work that breaks boundaries and elevates industries often seen as conservative or dry.

With entries closing on Friday, 18 July, there’s ample time to showcase your agency’s most impactful branding, packaging, and campaign work.

24 categories spanning diverse sectors

This year, the awards feature 24 sector categories, including Wine, Beer, and Spirits; Self-Branding; FMCG; and Transport and Travel.

For 2025, the awards expand with new craft categories sponsored by Frontify: Brand Strategy, Motion, Copywriting, Illustration, Typography, and—for the first time—Sonic.

These categories highlight the essential disciplines that make branding resonate across media and platforms.

Judged by the best in the industry

The Brand Impact Awards are judged by an esteemed panel of world-class experts from top global agencies, including Pentagram, Lippincott, JKR, Wolff Olins, and R/GA.

Independent studios, such as Ragged Edge, Mucho, Koto, and For The People, also lend their expertise, alongside client-side brand specialists from notable companies like Google, LEGO, Citi, and Spotify.

Showcase your work on the world stage

Last year, the BIAs made headlines by awarding two Best of Show winners for the first time—one for Campaign and one for Identity.

Samsung’s Micro Miracles by ManvsMachine clinched the campaign title with a groundbreaking project described as “mesmerizing” by one judge and “an amazing commitment to both craft and concept” by another.

This project told the story of technological progress through tiny dioramas—at one-60th the width of a human hair!

Winning at the BIAs promises not just industry recognition but also PR amplification across Creative Bloq’s extensive network of digital and print creatives.

Best of Show and Social Impact award winners will be featured in a dedicated spotlight on Creative Bloq, the world’s leading design platform.
