Discover the Brand Impact Awards 2026 judging panel

Brand Impact Awards with hammer.

We’re delighted to announce our expert judges for this year's Brand Impact Awards.

Our esteemed judging panel is packed with world-class expertise from top studios such as JKR, Wolff Olins, Pearlfisher and Taxi Studio; and client-side brand specialists from innocent drinks, 4creative, Live Nation Entertainment and more, as well as our team of editorial experts.

Between them, they provide a powerful cross-section of knowledge, from highly focused sector- and craft-specific expertise to broad-church branding prowess – to ensure we celebrate the very best work in every category. Visit the BIA website to discover the full list of judges announced.

Now in their 13th year, the BIAs are dedicated to rewarding the world's best branding. They're judged according to market sector, which means boundary-breaking creative work in usually dry, conservative fields has a chance to rise to the surface. We have 24 Sector categories such as fashion, artisan and not-for-profit as well as our seven Craft categories, including illustration, sonic, experiential and typography.

Our judges will be looking for projects that have a strong, compelling, appropriate idea at their heart, are beautifully and consistently crafted across every touchpoint and stand head and shoulders above the rest of their market sector.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to put your best branding work in front of our world-class panel and potentially win a beautiful BIA Mallet.
