People’s Awards has been one of the most looked forward-to events in the corporate calendar since its inception in 2007. The uniqueness of these awards is that they are based on consumer preferences, determined by the results of a survey rather than by a panel of experts.
The awards are presented by The Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM), supported by survey results. The purpose of the awards has been to reward and recognize the brands and personalities that are closest to the hearts of the Sri Lankan people.
On behalf of SLIM, Kantar conducts the survey deploying a rigorous data collection and analysis process to select the winners for the awards categories.
