For the awards, The Ad Club (TAC) partnered with Kantar to design a ranking mechanism to recognise marketing excellence of brands across a few generic and special categories. The selection process consisted of three steps to choose the nominees for each category of awards. The first step was to shortlist the brands based on brand performance, which was followed by incorporating additional evaluation measures that were then combined to give the jury a complete picture.
Kantar’s methodology combined the background research and Brand shortlisting through the desk research, Syndicated reports and other industry reports to arrive at 10-12 top performing brands in each category based on size and growth. Besides the product performance, for each shortlisted brand, information related to brand communication, spends and distribution was also gathered for further assessment.
