Since adding categories to our Brand Of The Year Awards a few years ago, we have wanted to add more opportunities to the end-of-year celebration, especially since the health and nutrition industry continues to grow week on week, as does the innovation and creativity. One of our most common requests were individual product awards, like Pre-Workout Of The Year or Protein Bar Of The Year. We have finally come up with something that we feel honors standout releases but in our won broad reaching way that we can shape depending on the year.
Stack3d 45 is an all-new addition to our Brand Of The Year Awards, and it is essentially our list of highlights from the year, 45 to be exact. Energy drinks, protein bars, functional foods, sports nutrition supplements, health and wellness formulas, and even flavors can find their way onto the list; what we look for is innovation. That could be a never-before-seen flavor, a pre-workout that did something to separate it from the rest, or a protein bar that achieved a blend of tastes and textures that raised the bar in the space.
Brands and products that find themselves on the list can apply for a badge and certificate to show off the achievement how they please, and single companies can earn multiple spots. Again, in total, there are 45 spots on the Stack3d 45 list, and they’ll all be announced all at once, later this week, in no specific order. This will allow us to include things like protein snacks, specialized categories that a brand nailed, and everything in between without being stuck to a specific type, so be on the look out in the coming days for the winners.
