Winning three Gold Dragons across three distinct categories highlights the breadth of the brand’s achievements, while the Black Dragon for Small Budget further emphasizes its ability to create meaningful impact through focused and efficient investment.
The achievements come a little over a year after American Premium Water’s brand relaunch in 2025, marking a new chapter for the company as it strengthens its positioning, builds greater relevance and creates meaningful connections with customers.

The Gold Dragon for Cause, Environment or Sustainability recognizes the impact of its purpose-driven work, while the Gold Dragon for Creative Excellence reflects the strength of the creative work involved in bringing the brand’s renewed proposition to life.
“We are incredibly proud of these achievements. Winning four Dragons, including three Golds and a Black, is a wonderful validation of the strategic thinking, creativity, passion and commitment that went into the work,” said Fayaz Fazal, CEO/Director, American Premium Water. “The awards are a testament to the power of teamwork and the incredible partnership between our teams and our agency partners, Phoenix Ogilvy and Shift Integrated.”
