The Brand Impact Awards are judged across 27 different categories including fashion, sport, entertainment, culture and not-for-profit. Work is judged in the context of its sector, which gives standout work in traditionally conservative fields a chance to shine.
 
Our panel will consider work according to three main criteria:

- 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

This year's panel features world-class agencies such as DesignStudio, COLLINS, Johnson Banks and Pearlfisher, as well as branding experts who've worked client-side for top brands such as Disney, Mailchimp, Virgin and Ben & Jerry's.
