The DBA's annual Design Effectiveness Awards are the most prestigious accolade in design, being the only award scheme that uses commercial data as a key judging criteria. As the design industry’s equivalent of an IPA award in advertising, all winners having undergone two stages of rigorous judging, by two separate panels of business leaders, including company directors from Lloyds TSB, Sainsbury's, Samsung and GlaxoSmithKline.

Year after year, winning case studies like Rowse, Earl Grey and Florals demonstrate the excellent value for money and return on investment that a coherent, well-thought-out and professionally executed design strategy can achieve.
