• The recognition highlights Acolad’s This is Us. This is Acolad. campaign, launched in 2024 to unite its global workforce across 22 countries under a single, cohesive brand identity.
• Selected from among nominations spanning 78 countries and territories, winners were chosen by more than 250 global executives serving as judges

Acolad, the global leader in language and content solutions, has been awarded a Bronze Stevie® Award for Re-Branding / Brand Renovation of the Year in the 22nd Annual International Business Awards®.

The accolade recognizes Acolad’s This is Us. This is Acolad. campaign, launched in early 2024 to unify the group’s global workforce across 22 countries. The initiative consolidated brand identities acquired throughout its growth journey into one powerful narrative – honoring Acolad’s shared history while charting a common path forward. This new sense of unity has not only strengthened internal culture but also positioned Acolad as a standout among peers, with a stronger, more cohesive presence in the global market.

The International Business Awards are the world’s premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small - are eligible to submit nominations. The 2025 IBAs received nominations from organizations and individuals in 78 nations and territories.

Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 250 executives worldwide, who participated in the judging process in May - July.
The campaign introduced a refreshed brand identity anchored in Acolad’s core values – Forward-Thinking, Open, and Reliable. A new corporate video and tagline, “Content that empowers, anywhere”, served as the cornerstone of the campaign, alongside its internal rallying call, “This is us. This is Acolad.”

“This achievement truly showcases our commitment to fostering a strong, cohesive culture that translates not only internally but also externally,” stated Gráinne Maycock, Acolad’s Chief Revenue Officer. “Our people now feel more connected with the Acolad brand and its unified mission and shared purpose. This cultural cohesion has empowered teams to better collaborate across borders and represent Acolad with confidence and pride – and that reflects in how we connect to customers and deliver solutions that best respond to their needs.”

“The 2025 International Business Awards have set a new benchmark for excellence,” said Stevie Awards President Maggie Miller. “Our winners have demonstrated remarkable ambition and achievement in reaching their goals. We congratulate them on their well-earned recognition and look forward to honoring them on stage in Lisbon on 10 October.”
