Why enter?
Brands sit at the intersection of business and culture, a dynamic Fast Company Middle East has long chronicled, exploring how each influences the other.
With Brands That Matter, we aim to honor those who not only know why they exist but can creatively and effectively communicate that purpose to their audience. Clarity of purpose and the impact of its communication are key to any brand’s ability to tap into and influence culture.
We’re looking for brands to share how they define success over the past year, how they’ve managed to build and maintain it, how their work intersects with business and culture, and how they’re crafting relationships with fans and customers to forge a better future. Does this sound like you?
