Winner Anja Zambelli comments that design can be an opportunity for many domestic brands to enter foreign markets, and as the winners of the A’Design award, they gain additional credibility on the world stage. “Recognition like the A’Design Award opens many doors to clients in Europe and beyond. All of this is an added value of investing in the design of the company’s visual identity or product design,” concludes Zambelli.
