The FAB Awards Agency of the Year for 2023 was BBDO New York and Design Agency of the Year was won by Shenzhen TigerPan Design Co. Ltd. and other FAB Awards went to countries from around the world. The 25th FAB Awards show was supported by and hosted on YouTube.
The FAB Brand of the Year Award was won by MARS Incorporated, who took home a FAB (Gold) Award and several FAB (Silver) Awards.
There is still no other International Awards program which shares our focus, and the FAB Awards continues to offer Agencies and their Clients a unique opportunity.
The FAB Brand of the Year Award, as well as the FAB Agency of the Year Award, will be sponsored by YouTube for the eighth year in a row.
All FAB entrants are also invited to our FAB Forum – Food And Beverage Forum – A Thought Leadership at Google, attended by several Brands and Agencies too. The FAB Forum is powered by Google.
We have a refreshed identity and new set of FAB awards for 2020. Just as the identity reflects the transformation of food and beverage brands, our new awards themselves are transformed from food and beverage packaging.
