The SLIM Kantar People’s Awards, established in 2007, are among the most highly anticipated events in the corporate calendar. This year’s awards ceremony was held on Monday 18 March at the Monarch Imperial in Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte, with the attendance of senior marketers and officials, representing both brands and agencies.

What sets these awards apart is their unique basis on consumer preferences, determined through a comprehensive survey rather than by a panel of experts. Kantar, on behalf of SLIM, undertakes an exhaustive data collection and analysis process to select the winners for various categories, including the coveted People’s Housing and Construction Brand of the Year.
