INTERBRAND DESIGN FORUM NAMED ONE OF THE TOP DESIGN FIRMS OF THE YEAR BY DDI MAGAZINE

DAYTON, OHIO— Retail brand consultancy, Interbrand Design Forum was named to DDI’s Design Firms of the Year list in the September 2009 issue of the magazine.

The recognition is based on the votes of fellow members of the retail industry. Interbrand Design Forum’s work has been widely publicized this year, including the new Michaels Stores prototype, JCPenney’s first-ever Manhattan store and the launch of Burger King’s new global restaurant strategy, which included its new 20/20 prototype as well as the innovative Whopper Bar concept.

This year also marked the unveiling of Interbrand Design Forum’s first annual Most Valuable U.S. Retail Brands report, an important benchmark study for the industry highlighting the role of brand in retail.

In addition to the company honor, Interbrand Design Forum’s strategic and creative efforts for Michaels were recognized. The new store prototype is highlighted as one of the best-designed stores of the year.
