Malaysian retailer MR. D.I.Y. received the “Brand of the Year” award in the National tier of the Retailer-Home Improvement Category at the 2018 World Branding Awards held at Kensington Palace, London, last October 31, 2018. The awards is organized by the World Branding Forum, a global non-profit organization dedicated toward advancing branding standards, and is considered the ultimate global brand recognition accolade a brand can be granted.
This year, only one National tier winner of this prestigious award was chosen in each category per country. Other Malaysian category winners were Maybank for Banking and Spritzer for Water. Nominees were judged for brand valuation, consumer market research, and through public online voting.
“The awards celebrate the achievements of some of the greatest brands around the globe. With an average of just six winners per country, it is truly a great achievement to be a winner of these awards,” said Richard Rowles, Chairman of the World Branding Forum. MR. D.I.Y. counts itself among the ranks of this edition’s global winners: Beijing Tong Ren Tang, BMW, Cartier, Club Med, JinkoSolar, Johnnie Walker, Lego, L'Oréal, Louis Vuitton, Nescafé, Rolex, Samsung, Schwarzkopf, and Yakult.
