Marc Cloosterman, CEO of VIM Group, said "The last decade has been truly exciting for the global branding industry. Inside has become outside, and the number of channels and touchpoints for branding has grown exponentially. As a result, delivering on brand promise has become equally important as creating brand promise." He added, "We are honored to partner with REBRAND for the increased recognition of the strategic value of branding which is exemplified by the REBRAND Hall of Fame winners. We congratulate them all!"
