NIQ unveils winners of the 8th Annual NIQ Design Impact Awards

The global competition recognises and celebrates best-in-class package redesigns, and the business impacts they make for their companies. This year’s winners include brands that delivered innovative and creative packaging with design concepts that reflected brand vision while supporting the shopper journey.

Following the review of over 100 submissions, the NielsenIQ team used the company’s proprietary Retail Measurement Sales (RMS) data to identify brands demonstrating increase in sales after launch of updated package designs. In addition to evaluating RMS data, NielsenIQ experts evaluated the package redesigns for alignment with pack principles and also role fulfillment across the shopper journey. The results unveiled 18 winners across various CPG categories with excellent designs and a measurable increase in sales.

“We are so excited to be back with the NIQ Design Impact Awards. We spend our days helping clients maximize the impact of their packaging design. Here is the opportunity to really step back and celebrate the power that great packaging holds and the companies that have done it well.” said Andrea Fraboni, vice president and global leader of Pack and Design Solutions at NielsenIQ.
