KIND

The award-winning KIND

While praise from our clients takes real pride of place on the Kind 'trophy shelf', we cannot deny that we're extremely proud of the major industry awards we've gathered over the years.

KIND awarded "Global Agency of the Year" by The World Brand Design Society.

For the third year running, the World Brand Design Society Awards has named KIND as ‘Global Agency of the Year’. The 2022/23 awards ceremony was held in London, where KIND received a total of 28 awards, in addition to the main trophy of the evening. As well as the title of ‘Global Agency of the Year’, KIND also claims the No.1 spot in the Society's 'Global Agency Ranking', which ranks the world's top agencies.

KIND named the best Agency in Europe!
European Design Awards named KIND the best agency in Europe 2019/20 – the most creatively successful agency on the continent. To win the top accolade ‘European Agency of the year’ is a real achievement, where the competitors are all the top agencies in Europe. In addition to the European Agency of the Year award, KIND has also been awarded two gold, and one silver in the categories Brand logo, Integrated Identity Applications and Food & Beverage Packaging.

Gold and Best in Show
KIND has repeatedly won the annual Award for Design Excellence, where the Norwegian Design Council acknowledges the cream of the country’s design solutions. KIND have also taken gold at The Visual Competition, the largest visual communications competition in Scandinavia, organised by Grafill (the Norwegian organisation for visual communication) and Gullblyanten (The gold pencil), nationally. In addition, we have been awarded numerous gold and trophies in major international competitions such as the Dieline Awards in Chicago, Red Dot Design Awards in Berlin, Gold Award and Best in Show accolade at the International Spirits Challenge in London, the European Design Awards, the Harpers Design Awards, DNA Design Awards Paris, Pentawards and more.

‘The top accolade in the European Design Awards is every time, the distinction bestowed upon the most creatively successful agency of the continent. This title is awarded to Europe’s best agencies each year, and this year the talented and ambitious branding agency Kind is the undisputed winner.’

Business effectiveness
In addition, we have received awards and praise for our UK team; they took home an award from the IVCA (International Visual Communication Association), while their work has been judged on its business effectiveness - as well as its creative excellence - through the CIB awards (The British Association of Communicators in Business). We have also been awarded Gold for Best Overall Communication and the award for Best Audio/Visual Employee Communication at the 2014 IOIC (Institute of Internal Communication) Awards. Our work is also frequently featured in highly respected design and branding blogs, magazines and books worldwide.

We also pride ourselves on the added value we bring to our clients' businesses. This was recognised when our client Coldwater Prawns of Norway was awarded the country’s prestigious 'Company of the Year' title by Innovation Norway. Key contributing factors to the company’s incredible growth were in the repositioning and market strategies that Kind developed together with the client, which came in for special praise.

KIND has been awarded the Gazelle Prize in the last two years; Business newspaper DN's annual award to companies that have at least doubled their turnover over the last four years.
