Since the Transform Awards were first launched in the APAC region in 2014, Labbrand has consistently received top honors, with a total of four awards in 2014, and five in 2015. This year, other than the increase in awards quantity, Labbrand’s outstanding creative ability and strategic thought whilst working closely and collaborating with its clients has been highly recognized. This remarkable achievement has proven and consolidated Labbrand’s leadership in brand development and brand innovation in Asia-Pacific. Meanwhile Labbrand continues to deliver high-quality branding offerings around the world with its expansion in Paris, New York and Singapore.
