Popsop Presents the First Voting Results for Sensei Brand Award: August 2010

Today, on August 9, 2010, Popsop is proud to finally announce the first voting results for the Sensei Brands Award 2011—the unique project, which celebrates the new approach to awarding global brands for their certain «mental teaching» activities.

This July we’ve been asking our juries to vote for the 12 selected brand campaigns—now you can see the results of their voting online: Starbucks coffee has moved to the fore in the general chart, becoming the best «green» sensei, while Apple and Axe have established themselves as MIND and FUN mentors, respectively. See the details at the Brand Charts page here.
