Creativepool Annual Awards 2026 recognise Vladimir von Bergdorff in two categories
London, United Kingdom — Mag. Vladimir von Bergdorff, MA, Group Managing Director of Foster + Svensson, has been nominated in two categories at the Creativepool Annual Awards 2026, one of the world’s leading international platforms celebrating excellence across the creative industries.
The nominations recognise Vladimir von Bergdorff in the Next Gen Leader 2026 category and for Brand Design Refresh for the Apothecary, acknowledging both individual leadership and creative achievement.
As one of the world’s most influential creative professional networks, Creativepool brings together leading talent, agencies, brands, and organisations from across the global creative economy. Its Annual Awards celebrate excellence across branding, design, advertising, digital communications, and creative leadership, recognising work that contributes to the continued evolution of the creative industries on an international scale.
This year’s nominations place Vladimir von Bergdorff alongside talented professionals from globally recognized brands and agencies, including The Coca-Cola Company, Huge, and BBDO.
The Brand Design Refresh for the Apothecary has likewise been nominated among work from outstanding brands and organizations such as Tadao Ando – Dubai Museum of Art, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Nike, Adidas, Carlsberg, Hendrick’s Gin, PepsiCo, Pernod Ricard, Absolut, Aperol, Alpro, Tiffany & Co., Ericsson, Deutsche Telekom, W Hotels, Lloyds Banking Group, Amazon, Sky, BBC, Wired, Google, McCann Worldgroup, Dentsu, Publicis Groupe, Leo, VML, Ogilvy, Cheil, Bruketa&, Interbrand, and many more.

Together, the nominations recognise both leadership and brand design excellence, reflecting a body of work shaped by strategic thinking, creative discipline, and a commitment to building brands of lasting value. They also reflect the continued international recognition of work developed through Foster + Svensson, where marketing, branding, and design are understood not as isolated creative services, but as interconnected disciplines that help organisations create meaningful and enduring relationships with the people they serve.
While every project presents its own challenges, the principles behind the work remain consistent: understanding people before markets, defining strategy before execution, and creating brands that are designed not only to communicate, but to endure. International recognition is therefore valued not as an objective in itself, but as an affirmation that this long-term approach continues to resonate within the global creative community.
“Recognition is never the destination of creative work. Its real value lies in the trust it builds, the relationships it strengthens, and the lasting impact it creates for clients and the people they serve. Recognition such as this is especially meaningful because it comes from an international community of creative professionals whose standards continue to shape the creative industries worldwide. To be nominated in both the Next Gen Leader category and for Brand Design Refresh for the Apothecary is an honor that I sincerely appreciate. More than anything, these nominations reflect the dedication of the people, partners, and clients who have contributed to this journey. I am grateful to Creativepool for this recognition and to everyone who continues to believe in the value of thoughtful, strategically driven creativity,” said Mag. Vladimir von Bergdorff, MA, Group Managing Director of Foster + Svensson.
The nominations reflect Foster + Svensson’s continued international recognition and reaffirm the agency’s long-term commitment to strategic marketing, branding, and design. They also reinforce a belief that has shaped the agency since its foundation: that enduring brands are created through clarity of purpose, disciplined thinking, and meaningful collaboration. In a creative landscape defined by constant change, this philosophy continues to guide the agency’s work while contributing to an ongoing international dialogue about the future of branding.
The winners of the Creativepool Annual Awards 2026 will be announced later this year.
