Nominees revealed for The Drum Design Awards 2019

According to Bow and Arrows' creative partner and founder and member of the judging panel, Natasha Chetiyawardana, there was a real difference in how the big brands play against the own brand and smaller start ups.

She said: "You could see how big brands are really having to fight, how they were really going bigger, pushing on their equity and making something of it. From that, you could also see how smaller brands are really changing the game."
