Beauty and measurement

The Golden Ratio

The BrandSmart Awards were inspired by the Golden Ratio and were created to celebrate the powerful relationship between beauty and measurement – the marriage of creativity and results.

Often found in nature, art and architecture, the Golden Ratio epitomizes the beauty of the integration of art and science – and recognizes those whose efforts exemplify this practice.
