TCG Awards

Rewarding the most innovative brands in TCG

The TCG Awards are the most prestigious awards in our industry today – the “Oscars” of Technical Consumer Goods (TCG). The awards recognize the most innovative TCG brands* operating in EMEA. Not only will the awards inspire brands to demonstrate that they are the “best of the best”, but they will also inspire the industry as a whole by creating powerful storytelling value. Winners are selected by the “Grand Jury”, comprised of top management from leading EMEA tech retailers and a top representative of GfK. We are looking for the Brand of the Year, the best Integrated Marketing Campaign, the most exciting Technology Innovation, the most powerful Disruptor and the most outstanding Individual from the industry. These five awards offer you the chance to be recognized for your successes and achievements in the global TCG industry.

*With the term “brands” it is meant manufacturers/suppliers

Integrated Marketing Award

In 2018, have you delivered a successful, international and truly integrated integrated campaign (e.g. a new product launch or a seasonal campaign) that created value and demand?

The judgment will be based on the following three dimensions:

1. Has the campaign connected your brand activity with the activation in retail with the retailer (e.g. the point of sale was seamlessly integrated with your TV advert)?

2. Was your campaign integrated across the marketing channels between you and the retailer (e.g. your company's website and the retailer's website were aligned, there was an amazing social media campaign etc. Thus, the integration functioned across different marketing channels and, importantly, you delivered correct and professional digital content to the retailer).

3. Did your marketing campaign drive the whole category? Thus, not only was your product impressive but it also stimulated the entire category.

Technology Innovation Award

In 2018, which of your brand's innovations enabled your retail client to excite customers and demonstrate a new technology to them in the best way?

This could be any type of innovation: a new feature, a product design, a new product, or the creation of a whole new categroy. It could also be the reinvention or shifting of a category (for example creating higher value for the whole category).

Disruptor Award

In 2018, have you, as a brand, done something truly different?

This award is for disruptors who created positive value and opportunities. This could be a product, a service, or an application. The size of your company does not matter: the winner could be a global brand or a startup company.
