Best Brand

The Best Brand category rewards a practice with a distinct personality whose presence is clearly expressed both online and offline. 

Judges will be looking for a practice that has crystallised the story of what it stands for and why that matters so entrants need to demonstrate that they have been through this process.

A strong brand should appeal to a practice’s target clients and have a positive effect on fee income.

Judges will be looking for evidence of an authentic brand ‘voice’ that’s interacting with its audience on different platforms and will take into consideration what the brand has done that has  impacted or informed architectural culture.

The Best Brand category is new for 2024.
