BrandTailors strategic brand consulting and design firm was awarded two Gold and one Bronze trophies at the 2012 Transform Awards and received the Merit distinction at REBRAND 100 Global Awards 2012, for both iriac Holdings and Naturlich re-branding programs.

Being already globally reputed for its product branding expertise, in 2012 BrandTailors gains international acclaim for the excellence of two corporate branding programs. The Naturlich and iriac Holdings programs were rewarded two Gold and one Bronze trophies at the 2012 Transform Awards and also won the Merit distinction at REBRAND 100 Global Awards, early this year. Both competitions certify the value of the most successful brand repositioning and transformation programs in the global branding industry.

iriac Holdings is the most valuable local group of companies that has ever gone through a rebranding program sided by a Romanian brand consultancy. We approached the project with a professional solemnity that was well worth the trust we were invested with by, probably, the greatest entrepreneur Romania has ever seen nowadays, Mr. Ion iriac. I was sure that the two year long effort made by BrandTailors team, who won this project following a pitching process, would be appraised and rewarded by the Transform Awards jury.

At the 2012 Transform Awards, the re-branding program developed for iriac Holdings won a Gold trophy for Best Rebrand by Region: Eastern Europe and one Bronze trophy for Best Brand Consolidation. The Naturlich branding program received the Gold trophy for Best Creative Strategy at the 2012 Transform Awards, but it was also the proud recipient of a Merit distinction at REBRAND 100 Global Awards 2012, being featured in the same category as 32 other important projects developed by world renowned branding companies such as Landor Associates, Metadesign and Lippincott.
