German Brand Award': The Award for Successful Brand Management

Initiated by Germany’s design and brand authority, judged by a top-class panel of experts from brand management and brand science: the German Brand Awards are the award for successful brand management in Germany. The awards discover, present and award unique brands and brand builders.

In 2021, the German Brand Awards were able to achieve a great international response with 1134 submissions from 17 countries. The jury is made up of independent, interdisciplinary experts from companies, science,

consulting, services and agencies. The submissions are evaluated according to the criteria of independence and brand typology, brand distinctiveness, differentiation from the competition and target group relevance. Brand management should take into account aspects such as sustainability, degree of innovation, continuity and future viability. Factors such as the design quality of the brand presence, the homogeneity of the brand experience and the economic success also play a decisive role in the adjudication process.

The German Brand Institute Foundation was established jointly by the German Design Council and GMK Markenberatung. The German Brand Awards let the foundation present a unique award for outstanding brand management.
