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 organisations, 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.
