World Brand Design Society Awards

KIND named ‘Global Agency of the Year’ at The World Brand Design Society Awards for the fourth year running.

For the fourth year running, the World Brand Design Society Awards named KIND ‘Global Agency of the Year’. The 2023/24 awards ceremony was held in London, where KIND received 33 awards in addition to the main trophy of the evening.

The event showcased KIND's exceptional achievements and reinforced its dominance in the World Brand Design Society's Global Agency Design Ranking. KIND's remarkable success at this year's World Brand Design Society Awards was underscored by an impressive haul of accolades – 3 Golds, 9 Silvers, 14 Bronzes, and 7 Commended. These wins exemplify the agency's versatile and impactful approach to branding.

Highlighting Notable Projects
A standout among KIND's achievements was the branding of the Canadian company Veer—the innovator behind the world's first efficient, emission-free cargo fleet. The agency's expertise in naming and writing brought Veer's bold identity to life, promising to revolutionise the future of maritime freight with a sustainable ethos.

KIND's recognition for its work on Hima Seafood, the world's largest land-based trout farm, was equally noteworthy. Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards were received for branding, packaging design, and photography, showcasing Hima's dedication to environmental practices and presenting Silver Trout with ethereal elegance.

KIND's Global Impact in Yacht Branding
KIND's influence extends globally, as evidenced by its successful projects with the German luxury yacht company TYDE and the BMW Group's 2 million EURO flying super yacht, "The Icon." The agency's rebranding efforts for SKULD, a leading global maritime insurance company, further reinforce KIND's standing on the international stage.
