We’ve had a lot on
our plate
We’ve had a lot of FAB credentials on our plates over the years but for 2020 we launched a new set of FAB Award Trophies… …MADE OUT OF RECYCLED PACKAGING.
Our FAB New Trophy Made from Recycled Packaging
We collaborated with experts who manufacture exquisite hand-crafted material from recycled packaging. By using waste to create our prestigious awards, we hope we can change people’s perceptions around recycled materials and unlock their hidden potential – turning rubbish into beauty. We hope it will find a proud place within your offices or homes.
About the Awards
The FAB Awards is an International Awards program focused entirely on work done for Food And Beverage brands and outlets.
It recognises the critical contribution that outstanding creative work makes to building brands, it identifies and rewards the leading practitioners from over sixty countries, and it acknowledges their contribution to their Clients and their Agencies.
Now in its Twenty-Sixth year, The FAB Awards has taken entries from many Clients, every leading Agency Network, Design Consultancies and many important Challenger Agencies from over 60 countries around the world.
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.
The making of our award
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.
The following companies have been great sponsors & supporters of The FAB Awards
Many thanks go to:

Magnus Thorne

Oliver
Magnus is a creative director with over two decades of experience that hasn’t dulled his passion for ideas. In that time he has worked in almost every sector and every medium from film, press, social and digital right down to cardboard turtles and paper bottle openers (it can be done). He was one of Oliver’s first CDs and since joining in 2014 has been fortunate enough to help the agency win its fair share of awards across all the major festivals, including a few FABS.
Old school in his thinking – in that idea is still everything – but excited to see what the new wave of AI brings.
