Award Arrangement

Under the 2022 Hong Kong Top Brand Awards, “Hong Kong Top Brand” will be granted to “new comer entries” (entries that have never won such Awards before) of the most outstanding merits, while “veteran entries” (past Awardees) exhibiting continuously superior performance may be conferred “Hong Kong Premier Brand”.  Usually capped at 10, the exact number of Awardees at each level will be at the discretion of the Judging Panel.

The 2022 Hong Kong Top Brand Awards will present “Ten Year Achievement Award” to selected past Awardees who have demonstrated persistent commitment to branding and sustained outstanding performance over the years. To be eligible, candidate of this honorary award should be a winner of “Hong Kong Premier Brand” and it has been conferred the title of “Hong Kong Top Brand” for at least ten years (the winning year inclusive).

The Hong Kong Distinguished Brand Leader Award has been introduced to give recognition to Hong Kong entrepreneurs for the remarkable achievements in brand-building and contributions towards the development of Hong Kong brands, with the objective of identifying role models for the industries and promoting Hong Kong's brand culture. The 2022 Brand Leader Award will choose one winner and the candidate should be a Hong Kong citizen who has been at the helm of a winner of Ten Year Achievement Awards and engaged in the operation of the Candidate's Brand for not less than 10 years.

Winner of the above award categories will receive a trophy and a certificate, as a memento of achievement.

TVC for Brand Awards

A TV commercial was specially produced for the promotion of the Brand Awards. Based on the theme of “moving up the ladder of success”, the TVC naturally and innovatively brings out the salient characteristics and key success factors of Hong Kong Top Brand, including “Reputation”, “Quality” and “Image”. It also employs movie shooting techniques with a mysterious touch to illustrate the Awards' vision of “Scaling new heights hand-in-hand with the industries”.

The TV commercial is broadcasted on digital and social media from July to August 2022.
