Superbrand Marketing International Inc. (SMI) is highly regarded among Filipino businessmen for its role in highlighting successful brands in the Philippine marketplace. The Certified Superbrands Philippines award is seen as a mark of distinction and success, prominently displayed on product packaging, billboards, and in various promotional events. This recognition is backed by strategic advertising and public relations efforts designed to enhance the visibility and credibility of awarded brands.

• • • Biennial Award Events: SMI stages formal tribute award events every two years to honor participating brands. These events celebrate the achievements of brands, showcasing their histories, innovations, and success stories. These celebrations are a key part of SMI’s commitment to recognizing excellence in branding.

• • • High-Quality Publications: SMI publishes detailed profiles of certified Super Brands, which include stories of success, historical development, innovative products, and new product launches. These publications serve to communicate the achievements and ongoing success of these brands to a broader audience.

• • • Award Seal Variants: The SMI Superbrand award seal comes in gold, silver, and red, allowing brands to choose a color that best complements their packaging and marketing materials. The choice of color is designed to enhance brand visibility without implying a hierarchy of quality.

• • • Focus on Consumer Preference: SMI emphasizes the importance of consumer preference and the sustained excellence of Super Brands. The organization audits and assesses consumer preferences based on long-term quality and brand performance, rather than focusing on ranking brands as good, better, or best.

• • • Brand Inter-Relationships and Super Brand Academy: SMI promotes inter-brand relationships and provides a platform for brands to collaborate on distribution strategies, marketing consultations, and new trends. The annual Super Brand Academy is a forum for discussing relevant issues such as sustainable energy, IT, renewable energy, and climate change, as well as traditional and modern advertising strategies. This forum aims to challenge and refine advertising activities to generate consumer preference effectively.

Philippine Superbrands, recognized by SMI, represent some of the most successful and distinguished brands in the country. Through its award programs, publications, and educational events, SMI continues to play a crucial role in elevating brand excellence and fostering a dynamic marketplace.
