Hayleys Advantis secured a Silver Award in the ‘B2B Brand of the Year’ category at the recently concluded SLIM Brand Excellence Awards 2021. This recognition is a testament to the outstanding branding initiatives undertaken by the company to enhance the brand image of ‘Advantis’ whilst continuing to expand its transportation and logistics services portfolio to serve diverse industry verticals in Sri Lanka and the region.
SLIM Brand Excellence Awards honour the hard work and dedication put forth by marketers in amplifying their brand value whilst promoting best practices in branding. The awards scheme celebrates brands and their performance at a national level and is a platform for brands to showcase their innovations whilst affording opportunities to elevate local brands to global status. The 2021 Awards, under the theme “Beyond the Frontier”, recorded the highest number of entries and brand participation in the history of the awards, with 121 entries from 82 brands.
In its journey towards achieving brand excellence, Advantis transformed its brand architecture from a pluralistic to a monolithic brand structure allowing key services offered under its portfolio to be easily recognisable by potential customers.
