VOTED

BY YOU

Because we are so convinced of the great work that
many BOSS members and others in the industry
have been doing to promote their brands, this
year we have appointed outside experts to assess
who has really done the most, and who therefore
deserves to win the Brand of the Year award.
The Centre for Brand Analysis, the organisation
that manages the high profile Superbrands and
Coolbrands surveys, will independently assess
the industry to identify its strongest brands in
manufacturing, reselling and distributing. The
agency will then seek the advice of both brand
experts and those within the industry to measure
each brand’s potency, and will then produce a
shortlist. And that’s where you as the industry come
in again, because later this year you will get the
chance to vote for who in this list should be the
overall winner of the award, which has replaced
last year’s Brand Awareness. So watch this space.
Many who came to the event last year remarked on what a great time they had.
