Brand Impact Awards 2017: shortlist revealed

[Rss Bot 1]

After many impassioned debates between the world-class judging panel, just over a quarter of the projects submitted to Computer Arts' Brand Impact Awards have made the shortlist. We can now reveal those 49 projects, from 32 different agencies – scroll down for the full list.

Computer Arts' Brand Impact Awards reward the very best branding from around the world. Now in its fourth year, the scheme's rich heritage of past winners represent the cream of  the global branding industry.

2017's shortlist is no different. This year, the Brand Impact Awards received a record number of entries – 187 projects, from 86 different agencies.

The winning and highly commended projects will be revealed at the fourth-annual Brand Impact Awards ceremony at the Ham Yard Hotel, London, on Wednesday 13 September.

Early bird prices are valid until 21 July, so book your tickets now to join the world's top agencies and discover 2017's big winners.

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:

1. A strong, compelling concept that's appropriate for the client
2. Beautiful and consistent execution across two or more brand touchpoints
3. Branding that stands head and shoulders above the rest of its market sector

Also, being the only agency shortlisted in a category does not necessarily mean taking home a coveted BIA trophy on the night. So it's all to play for.

So without further ado, in alphabetical order, here are the 32 agencies that made the shortlist in the Brand Impact Awards 2017:
