These are trailblazing brands that have not only exceeded expectations but have also set a benchmark by embodying passion, authenticity and the ability to create positive change for both their businesses and society as a whole.

In his opening speech, Prof. Dr. KKJohan, World President of The BrandLaureate shared a profound quote, "Greatness is when you fall and you rise up, that is greatness!" He emphasized that although achieving success is significant, 'our greatest glory' lies in the process of overcoming adversity; it is our resilience and determination to stand back up that truly defines our greatness. 

"Today, your brands are a living testament to the power of determination and innovation. You have not only embraced challenges but have used them as stepping stones to success," he shared as he encouraged the winning recipients to continue to push ahead despite all that they may face in the coming years. Ending his speech, he posed the audience with a challenge, "Don't be afraid of the fall, don't be afraid of greatness. Be courageous to step into the ring, to face the challenges head-on, and recognize that the journey won't always be smooth. But that is greatness attained – in those moments of falling, we find our strength, our determination and our true potential."

The World Brands Foundation. TWBF [formerly the Asia Pacific Brands Foundation (APBF)] was established over a decade ago, in 2005, and is the world's premier branding foundation. As a trendsetter for branding with divergence, the Foundation was rebranded to reach new echelons of prominence. Its primary objectives include the promotion of brands, the heightening of branding practices and inculcation of first-rate brand culture in the arena of entrepreneurship. The BrandLaureate, a sobriquet for brand excellence, was instituted to facilitate its vision and mission, simultaneously fulfilling the objectives of TWBF.

While brands often stand for organizations, products and services, they can also mirror individuals who are unique and embody exceptional qualities in their own right. An outstanding brand resonates as a succinct source of information and motivation for many – both in the real and digital realities. It remains incontrovertible that high-ideal brands bearing a strong identity play an important role universally – able to effectively stamp a mark and impact the equilibrium of society as a whole progressively. The Foundation does its part by honouring and recognizing exceptional individuals and entities that have redefined the benchmark of excellence – remarkable archetypes which have given their best to the world through their respective fields of expertise.
