Today in our countdown of the most awarded people, organizations and work from The Drum’s global awards program this year, we turn to the brands and clients behind the most lauded design work in 2025.
It’s a varied and global list, topped by The University of Cambridge and Genomics England thanks to their powerful and world-beating campaign, ‘Liming with Gran.’ Among its various gongs this year was a Grand Prix award at last month’s The Drum Awards for Design.
Following that pair of joint clients, Equality Health Foundation, Nippon Matcha, Fortnum and Mason and Forest Carbon share the second-place spot, having each impressed judges in multiple categories.
