DBA Design Effectiveness Awards shortlist 2017

The DBA’s annual Design Effectiveness Awards are both prestigious and authoritative, recognising the real and measured benefits delivered by design, and proving the value of design to business.

The 2017 shortlist of 42 winners has now been announced, after two rigorous rounds of judging by senior business figures from brands and organisations including Airbus, Deutsche Telekom, Diageo, Google, Guardian News and Media, ITV, Lego, PepsiCo, Volvo and more.

View the full judging panel.

For the second year, a third panel of judges, consisting of CEOs from globally renowned businesses such as Aston Martin’s Chief Executive Officer Andy Palmer, Entrepreneur Deborah Meaden and Warner Bros’ President & MD Josh Berger, will meet to deliberate and determine the winner of the Grand Prix award. The coveted Grand Prix award has been presented in recent years to companies including HM Government, BT, BEAR, Legal & General and MailOnline.

Awards ceremony

“The DBA Design Effectiveness Award winners demonstrate how design can add value in any category, any business or public service – from radically improving customer experience to transforming the performance of a company, from saving costs to saving lives – there is a place for design at the heart of any organisation,” says Josh Berger, President and MD at Warner Bros.
