Graff Brand Receives Awards at Effie Awards Ukraine 2025

The Graff brand has received significant professional recognition at Effie Awards Ukraine 2025, the leading award for marketing effectiveness in Ukraine.

For more than 55 years, the Effie Awards have been a global benchmark for evaluating the effectiveness of advertising communications and strategies. The Effie award for CupSoul confirms that the chosen strategic decisions and media plan not only contribute to achieving business goals, but are also recognized as highly effective in the market by an expert jury.

On November 28, during the 20th anniversary ceremony of Effie Awards Ukraine 2025, the CupSoul team received Bronze awards in two categories:

New Product or Service — Launch. The case “Style Brewed in a Cup,” developed in collaboration with the full-cycle marketing agency Promodo.

Artificial Intelligence (AI). The case “Your Style — Your Taste,” created in partnership with the AI experts from NSG agency.

The awards received confirm Graff’s ability to create modern, effective, and relevant communications that resonate with both consumers and the professional community.

In addition, the Graff marketing team received the Best Marketing Team award in the Hot Beverages category and achieved one of the highest scores in the market. This recognition highlights the team’s creative thinking, strong strategic execution, and well-balanced media mix in achieving brand objectives.

The Best Marketing Team ranking is calculated cumulatively based on three indicators:

50% — effectiveness awards from Effie Awards Ukraine;

40% — creativity awards according to the Ukrainian Creative Awards;

Remaining criteria (presence of TV campaigns, digital campaigns, and the marketing team’s openness to industry research) are indicative in nature — 3.33% each.

CupSoul achieved a final score of 99.3 points.

The team continues to work on brand development, implementing innovative solutions and shaping the unique Graff style in the hot beverages market.

Graff Wins the International Red Dot Design Award!

Graff has received the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2025 in the category
Brands & Communication Design!

On November 7 in Berlin, on the stage of the legendary Konzerthaus, the Graff tea
brand received one of the highest global distinctions in design.
The Red Dot Award is the “Oscar of design,” with more than 70 years of history,
annually recognizing the world’s best achievements in design, branding, and
communication.
In 2025, thousands of brands from 58 countries competed for the award.
The entries were evaluated by an international jury of 30 independent experts, including
specialists from Netflix, Meta, Ogilvy, and other leading companies.
The ceremony gathered over 1,500 participants from 43 countries, becoming a true
celebration of creativity and innovation.
This is an impressive success for a young brand whose first product rolled off the
production line less than two years ago.
The packaging design and advertising concept featuring stylish animal mascots are
entirely the internal work of the CupSoul design team.

For Graff, this victory is not only recognition of its design but also strong proof that
Ukrainian brands can shape new aesthetics and set trends on the global stage.
