MUNICH, March 15, 2017 – Labbrand, the leading China-originated global brand consultancy, is awarded once again for its creative and strategic excellence. Both of its work with kidsland and Zhejiang Circuit were this time recognized by iF Design Awards 2017, one of the world’s most celebrated and valued design competitions, in the Corporate Visual Identity category.

On Friday, March 10, 2017, iF Design Award held the prestigious awards ceremony in the BMW Welt in Munich, Germany where more than 2,000 guests came together to celebrate outstanding designs and creativity around the world. Labbrand’s Design Director Sam Yang, Corporate Branding Associate Director Jacquelien Brussee, and Labbrand France General Manager Nicolas Farman attended the ceremony.

“We are honored to have worked with kidsland and Zhejiang Circuit to help them build a strong brand. It has been inspiring to be part of the force of the growing Chinese brands who are at the center of global innovations. We congratulate our clients and every member of our design team for this great success. We hope to continue to assist Chinese brands in establishing distinctive identities to compete in a globalized market with unstoppable creativity and vitality!” says Sam Yang, Design Director of Labbrand.

Labbrand’s award-winning projects are both in the Communication – Corporate Identity / Branding category. The two projects were previously rewarded with multiple Transform APAC awards at the end of last year.
