Superbrands Malaysia Director Mike English said: “Tonight we celebrate brilliance and brands that have earned trust, inspired loyalty and turned ordinary products into extraordinary stories. A brand begins with belief, and belief is born inside your own walls long before it reaches the outside world!”

“Tonight, as we celebrate the best of branding, let’s remember that the greatest campaigns in the world cannot save a brand that its own people do not believe in. But when your team becomes your loudest cheerleaders, your most passionate advocates, your living and breathing proof – then your brand doesn’t just live in the marketplace. It lives in hearts.”

Mr Haridas in congratulating the winners said: “Tonight is not merely a recognition of successful marketing – it is a tribute to the art and soul of branding. All your efforts that have gone into conceptualising, testing, improving and finally giving birth to the brand – a realisation taking effect that has to be admired and respected.

“Social media today has given brands both wings and mirrors – wings to soar across borders and mirrors that reflect every action, good or bad, instantly. This is where ethics, transparency and sincerity of purpose are increasingly becoming the new pillars of branding success. The best brands are not those that shout the loudest but those that speak the truth, act responsibly and listen deeply,”

Mr Haridas said: “I would like to outline six critical factors for consideration that could assist new brands to evolve and endure: - define your purpose - be authentic - deliver consistently - listen to what your audience wants - embrace technology and innovation yet maintain your human touch and - build integrity into your DNA and create reputation that lasts.”
