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-Third 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 2020 was INGO Stockholm and Design Agency of the Year was Pearlfisher and other FAB Awards went to countries from around the world. The 22nd FAB Awards show was sponsored and hosted by YouTube.
The FAB Brand of the Year Award was won by Burger King, who took home several FAB (Gold) Awards and Two x FABulous Awards ( Best In Show ) for Moldy Whopper.
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 seventh 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 supporters of The FAB Awards
Many thanks go to:
The Jury
Advertising & Innovations
Melissa Cain
Creative Director, McCann London
I didn’t set out to work in advertising. In fact, it wasn’t even a blip on my radar as I pursued theatre, languages, maths & sciences, and eventually business.
But that journey contributed to the way I see the world, and to the vast experience I bring to the job. It ensures I look at every brief as a wonderful opportunity to make effective, truthful, well-crafted and thought-provoking work. And it allows me to put myself in the shoes of countless consumers, to pull on my experience of living in several different countries, and to attack every brief from a fresh perspective.
Throughout my career I have worked on a variety of brands, from FMCG to luxury, including Mr. Kipling, Harrods, and Kew. I have been a Creative Director across global and local clients, including Pandora, eBay and Subway. And now as a CD it is my responsibility to inspire, champion and support the younger generations of creative thinkers.
