KIND is once again named ‘Global Agency of the Year’ at the World Brand Design Society Awards.

For the second year running, the World Brand Design Society Awards has named KIND as its ‘Global Agency of the Year’. The 2021/22 awards ceremony was held in London, where KIND received a total of 17 awards, in addition to the main trophy of the evening.

As well as the title of ‘Global Agency of the Year’, KIND also claims No.1 spot in the Society’s global ‘league table’ ranking the work of the world’s top agencies. KIND’s work was recognised with a total of 17 individual awards, including two Gold, four Silver, eight Bronze and three Commended awards.

The prestigious double Gold awards recognized KIND’s rebrand and packaging design creation for Nordi, the producer of Premium Norwegian Sea Greens, and its stunning photography for identity shot for Åmot Luxury Lodging and which captures another world of Norwegian rural indulgence. KIND also received awards for work for Babord Seafood, Bareksten Spirits, Cutters, White Rabbit, Aurora Salmon and 7 Fjell Brewery.

The global league tables produced by The World Brand Design Society (WBDS) reflect a wide range of data that is compiled and independently curated as part of the WBDS Agency Design Awards. The WBDS is an internationally focused community, founded in 2008 with the mission of highlighting the very best in consumer (packaging) and corporate brand design. The Society promotes good industry practice and actively supports design students, professionals and agencies – both encouraging dialogue and celebrating creativity by enabling practitioners to present their work on a global stage.

Tom Emil Olsen, CEO and Chief Creative Director at KIND, commented: “Winning the highest prize at the World Brand Design Society Awards for two years in a row feels unreal. This is the fourth prestigious global award that we have garnered in the past three years, emphasizing how our integrated focus on quality and creativity continues to deliver results.

“We believe that a brand with a strong emotional personality will always create real added value for clients and help deliver greater commercial success. It is the powerful blend of creativity and strategic intent that these awards recognize, and we’d like to thank our progressive clients for constantly giving us the confidence to push forward.”

Knut Harald Longva, Design Director at KIND, commented: “It is an honour to receive the prestigious title as Global Agency of the Year, second time running. It shows that our team’s hard work and creative mindset bears fruit and makes its mark on the global design and branding scene.”
