3 Shortlists at The Drum Awards 2025!

We’re proud to be shortlisted in the Design category with three different projects at The Drum Awards 2025 — one of the world’s most prestigious platforms celebrating creativity and design excellence.

Sude Akkaya on CTV: New Article Published in The Drum

Ba’ndo’s project manager Sude Akkaya has published a new article in The Drum, exploring how Connected TV (CTV) can transform into a more powerful, audience-first channel. Akkaya emphasizes that CTV is no longer a one-way medium but a dynamic space where viewers consume, interact, and even shop in real time. She argues that success in this evolving landscape depends on treating creativity as a strategic compass, crafting stories that resonate across devices and moments, using measurement as a tool for deeper insights rather than just clicks, and embracing the complexity of platforms as an opportunity for innovation. For Akkaya, the new era of television is not about simply buying ad space but about building cultural connections and inviting audiences to become active participants in a brand’s world.

4 Awards for 3 Bold Ideas. 💡

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve won 4 awards with 3 different projects at this year’s Brandverse Creativity Awards — organized jointly by BoomSonar and Marketing Türkiye.

These awards represent the essence of what we believe in: creativity, craft, and meaningful output.
They hold great value — both for our industry and for our amazing clients.

A huge thank you to every creative soul at Ba’ndo who poured their passion into these projects.
And to the jury members who approached every idea with care and curiosity — thank you!
And of course, our incredible clients: we couldn’t have done this without you. 💛
To everyone who constantly seeks better, bolder, and braver — thank you for walking this path with us.

✨ Among Europe’s Best: A Gold Award for Ba’ndo with MAD 🏆

From June 5–8, 2025, we joined the European Design Festival in the vibrant city of Ljubljana 🇸🇮 — and returned home with GOLD! 🥇

Organised by Brumen Foundation and ICoD, the highlight of the festival was the 18th European Design Awards ceremony 🏛️, where the visual identity system we crafted for our digital publishing brand MAD 🔴 was honoured with a Gold Award in the Digital Identity Application category. We were also finalists in Motion Logo 🎞️.

As a creative team based in Istanbul 🌍, it’s a thrill to leave our mark on the European design scene. MAD’s identity stood out with its bold visuals 💥, fluid animation 💫, and digital-first structure 📱.

The EDA celebrates the best in design across Europe — spotlighting excellence, innovation, and cultural depth ✨. Being among this year’s winners is both an honour and a reminder of why we do what we do.

The festival was filled with inspiring talks 💬, exhibitions 🖼️, and creative conversations 🤝 — and we’re walking away with fresh ideas and proud hearts.

This award is not just about MAD — it reflects our entire approach to design, collaboration, and storytelling 🧠❤️. Massive thanks to our incredible team and the brilliant clients who walk this journey with us.

Let’s keep pushing boundaries. 🚀

A moment with ADC — where creativity meets legacy.

With our project MAD, we’ve made it to Round 2 in two categories at the 2025 Art Directors Club Awards.

Founded in New York in 1920, ADC is one of the world’s most respected platforms for creative disciplines. These awards celebrate not only design, but also the power of ideas, storytelling, and craft. That’s why reaching Round 2 isn’t just a checkpoint — it’s a sign that our work is being seriously considered on an international stage.

We’re grateful that the care and attention we put into every detail has been recognized.

And as always, we keep creating — the MAD way.

Our MAD project has been nominated in not one, but two categories at the European Design Awards 2025! 🏆🏆

📁 Digital Identity Applications 🎞️ Motion Logo
From pixels to principles, from motion to meaning — MAD was built with ambition, a bit of madness, and a lot of craft. To see it recognized on such a stage is a huge honor.

Big thanks to the ED-Awards jury, our dream team, and everyone who believed in the MAD vision from day one.

📍Next stop: Ljubljana.
Let’s keep pushing what design can do.
