Kingdom & Sparrow Rank 3rd Worldwide for the Fifth year in a row!
We are incredibly proud to announce a landmark achievement for Kingdom & Sparrow! For the fifth consecutive year, our dedicated team has secured an outstanding 3rd in the world in the prestigious World Brand Design Society Global Ranking 2025/26.
The WBDS is the first global league ranking dedicated to design agencies and studios for consumer and corporate brand design and to have consistently ranked third worldwide for the last five years we see as a huge testament to the consistency, quality, and impact of our creative work on a global stage.
As we celebrate entering our thirteenth year of crafting compelling and impactful brand design, our talented and passionate team has been honoured with a remarkable total of 10 World Brand Design Society Awards (WBDS) for the projects we completed over the past year, highlighting the breadth and depth of our expertise across diverse branding challenges.
Our success in the 2025-26 WBDS Awards competition is a balanced reflection of our team’s ability to execute designs that are not only beautiful but strategically potent. Our 10 awards include:
- 1 x Gold for Holiday Vodka, packaging design.
- 6 x Silver across three projects; Forthglade, Mydflower and Holiday Vodka
- 3 x Bronze across three projects; Arbor, Mydflower and Forthglade
Winning 10 awards across such a diverse range of categories and client projects in a globally recognised and highly competitive arena is a monumental achievement for our independent studio. It serves as a powerful and direct reflection of our entire team’s relentless creativity, unwavering dedication, and the infectious passion we invest in every client brief, from initial concept to final execution.
The landscape for design agencies like Kingdom & Sparrow has continued to change drastically in the last few years with the rise of artificially generated design.
Kingdom & Sparrow Founder and Creative Director, Johnny Paton acknowledges the challenges that AI has created across the design industry, however he also believes it throws into sharp focus the need to preserve and champion the artworking practices we’ve built the agency on:
“The Kingdom & Sparrow team possesses an incredible skillset of traditional mediums and they’re forever growing and expanding their crafts. We bring these skills and creativity to every brief in a way that AI can’t. The designs our studio produces are unique and crafted with real design knowledge and expertise. Our team all work from our Falmouth based studio and when we kick off a project, we gather around our plan chest and sketch ideas together. I believe this creative environment really allows us to feed off each other and is very conducive to some fantastic design.”
