Brandkit® to sponsor global 2022 PLACE BRAND OF THE YEAR AWARD

(i.e. the oscars for place branding globally - DV)

Today more than ever your brand story matters.

The annual City/Nation/Place Awards sets the benchmark for best practice in place branding around the world. And as we grapple with the impact of COVID-19, climate crisis, and more, a clear place brand strategy can be the differentiator in who will find success in the new world.

The last two winners are also Brandkit® customers, with Brand Tasmania winning the gong in 2021, and Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland in 2020.

Which is why Brandkit® is delighted to be sponsoring the 2022 Place Brand of the Year Award – and we look forward to discovering who the finalists and eventual winner will be, in London on the 10th November.

Past winners of the grand Place Brand of the Year award include:

• Brand Tasmania (2021)
• Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland (2020)
• Costa Rica (2019)
• Eindhoven (2018)
• Copenhagen (2017)
• The Hague (2016)
• Oslo (2015)

The finalists and winner will be presented at the City/Nation/Place Global conference in London, an in-person conference held over two days, 9th to 10th November 2022.

In addition to the overall award for Place Brand of the Year, there are additional entry categories:

• Best Citizen Engagement
