The Benchmarks aim to set a standard in the recognition of brand communication campaigns with a strong strategic concept across a variety of channels, for example, via websites, brochures or other marketing material.

Entrants are judged on the consistency of the brand message, overall creativity and innovation, as well as the appropriateness within their particular category.
