Congratulations to our 2020 winners
The 2020 BrandSmart Awards were held virtually on Wednesday, July 1, 2020 at AMA Chicago’s BrandSmart conference. View all of the winners below.
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.
