The Brand Impact Awards celebrates international excellence in brand design, honouring the most outstanding work created by top-tier global talent.
Following an intensive selection process led by an elite panel of industry leaders, the official shortlist for the 2026 Brand Impact Awards has been decided. From more than 200 submissions, just 29 agencies made it through to list with a total of 41 projects across the categories.
The ultimate awards are comprised of Gold, Silver, and Bronze honours, alongside top distinctions of the Social Impact Award and Best of Show. They will be announced on September 22. To toast these achievements, we are holding an exciting celebration event that day – all winners will receive an invitation. If you entered this year but didn’t win, you can still come to celebrate – email bia@futurenet.com to find out more.
We extend our sincere gratitude to our expert judges for contributing their invaluable insights, and to the brilliant agencies that entered this year. Find the shortlist below, and look out for the full winners’ list on the site later this month.
