Promotions + Gifts Design
Award-winning promotions and gifts from the GDUSA Design Awards, with the firm and the designers credited on every project.
32 award-winning projects
A promotional gift is a brand asking to be kept, and a good one sits on a client's desk for years. The designer makes an object worth keeping and keeps the brand on it quiet enough that the recipient wants to. The winners here are things people would have bought. Gauger + Associates' playing cards made a studio promotion into a deck worth dealing, and Morgan Stanley's Lunar New Year red packets honored a tradition without turning it into an ad. The best promotional gift designers in the awards are shown here. Open any piece to see it and learn what made it work.
