Marini’s on 57 has been awarded the Brand of the Year award in the Restaurant category at the World Branding Awards which was held at the prestigious One Whitehall Place in London, United Kingdom recently.
Modesto Marini, Founder and Owner of Marini’s on 57 said, “Winning this award is truly an international recognition and it would not be possible without the excellent service and strong commitment from our fantastic team. I thank the World Branding Forum for this accolade, which is proof of our commitment towards quality and innovation to put Malaysia on the international map of the culinary arts.”

The awards were organised by the World Branding Forum (WBF), a global non-profit organisation which produces, manages and supports a wide range of programmes covering research, development, education, recognition, networking and outreach. It is also involved with research and development, the implementation of standards, best practice guidelines and tools, as well as other branding initiatives.
The recipients of these awards are based on the criteria of household names in their home country that have been judged to be truly exceptional through four streams namely brand evaluation, consumer market research, public online voting and the WBF Advisory Council voting.
The event was presided over by Richard Rowles, Chairman of the WBF, along with various personalities in the business world and global brands.
“The award recipients are symbols of commitment to quality and innovation, making them models for others in their sectors and Marini’s on 57 makes it a core focus for continuous improvement of their management to maintain their brand in the industry” said Richard.
