Branding has been in existence since the early ages whereby humans used artifacts and relics to differentiate their cultures and eras. Henceforth, we have the historical Stone Age, middle ages down to our current Information Age. Slowly, countries began branding themselves by conquering others and to rule over their nation. Through influence, they created regional organizations such as NATO and the Commonwealth.

Business awards are getting popular within the business circle to honour distinguished individuals, companies and brands for their talents and performances. Awards help to enhance a brand, individual and company’s credibility. However, most business awards in the market currently are targeting at corporation and organization level.

Everyone is unique, that is why Personal Branding is just as important. Come from a wide industry, these individuals possess great values in making their world a better place to live in, yet they are not been given the recognition they deserved.
