PurpleAsia, among Vietnam's leading strategic branding, design, and PR consultancies, received four awards last week at the Transform Awards Asia ceremony, an annual acknowledgement and celebration of the region's most outstanding brand work. 

Hosted by global magazine Transform, the Transform Awards Asia, in its seventh year running, gives a platform to benchmark and showcase the work being done across the region.

From large global agencies to more boutique consultancies, the awards recognize excellence and reward innovation in branding.

During the live-streamed event held at 4:00 pm ICT on January 14, PurpleAsia was honored for their contribution to four projects, claiming the Silver Award for Best Use of Copy Style or Tone of Voice for Hoiana Hotel & Suites in Da Nang, Vietnam; the Bronze Award for Best Development of a New Brand within an Existing Brand Portfolio for nanoHome under the Nanoco umbrella; the Bronze Award for Best Visual Identity from the Food and Beverage Sector for Ruby Wong at Admiral Hotel Manila, within the MGallery Collection; and a Highly Commended Award for The River Thu Thiem by Refico in Ho Chi Minh City.

"The Transform Awards has always stood for the transformational power of rebranding and brand strategy," said Brittany Golob, editor-in-chief of Transform magazine.

"We're proud to recognize the organizations that are setting the bar for excellence in brand development.

“It's been a difficult year, but these companies lead the way in communications and deriving value from their brands.

“Congratulations to everyone who was awarded!"

Matt Millard, founder and CEO of PurpleAsia, said, "Playing a role in creating brilliant brands like Hoiana, nanoHome, Ruby Wong, The River Thu Thiem, and so many others is the reason we're excited to go to work every day.

“As the saying goes, 'A product can quickly become outdated, but a successful brand is timeless.'

"PurpleAsia is successful for the same reasons the brands we create for our clients are successful.

“We focus on brand experience; we deliver more than we promise; we live a culture that sets the highest professional and creative standards, and we take care of each other.”
