HONG KONG, December 14, 2017 – Labbrand celebrated remarkable wins last week in Hong Kong at this year’s Transform Awards Asia Pacific. Its excellent work in branding was honored with 7 awards across strategy, design and naming categories.

This year, Labbrand’s robust methodologies and comprehensive offerings once again garnered 7 awards, reinforcing its leadership in the branding field. 

The awards include:

GOLD award for its work with Alibaba (Fliggy), in the Best Visual Identity in the Travel, Leisure and Tourism Sector category;

“We are honored to be recognized again this year within our industry in the APAC region. Our sincerest gratitude goes out to our clients with whom we continuously work to bring out the positive power of branding,” stated Vladimir Djurovic, CEO of Labbrand, “It is exciting that we are witnessing a new composition of branding in which localized branding efforts are impacting brands on a global level – rather than coexisting.”

Moreover, because of the company’s outstanding expertise, Labbrand was invited to judge at the 2017 Asia Pacific award. Yukino Yamamoto, Managing Director Asia at Labbrand Singapore, was confirmed as a member at the judging panel. (Labbrand was made sure not to judge the categories that it entered.)
