BrandXchange announces official launch of Consumers Value Awards 5.0
BrandXchange, organisers of the Consumers Value Awards have announced the official launch of the 5th edition with a groundbreaking theme: “Beyond Satisfaction: Redefining Consumer Value in a New Economy.”
Scheduled to hold, September 23, 2026, this year’s edition introduces a Consumer & Citizen Value Scorecard, a nationwide voting platform that places the power of evaluation directly in the hands of consumers.
Speaking on the theme, the Convener, Akonte Ekine, noted that the concept of consumer satisfaction is no longer sufficient in today’s economic climate.
“For too long, satisfaction has been the benchmark. But in reality, many consumers who are ‘satisfied’ still feel overcharged, underserved, or unheard. This year, we are going beyond satisfaction to focus on what truly matters—real value. Value in pricing, value in service, and value in trust”.
He further explained that the introduction of the Consumer & Citizen Value Scorecard marks a significant evolution of the Awards into a data-driven, people-powered evaluation system.
“Through this Scorecard, Consumers will not just vote—they will assess. They will tell us which brands deliver fair value and which public institutions are truly serving the people. This is about giving consumers and citizens a structured voice that drives recognition and accountability,” Ekine added.
Unlike traditional award systems driven by panels or jury decisions, the Consumers Value Awards remain strictly based on consumer voting, ensuring that winners emerge from real-life experiences and public perception.
The 2026 edition expands its scope to include public sector institutions, reinforcing the idea that citizens are not only customers of brands but also consumers of government services.
According to him, the voting process will measure key indicators as: Value for money, Trust and transparency, Service delivery quality and Responsiveness to consumer needs among others.
Voting is expected to commence in June 2026, with nominations open to the general public via www.consumersvalueawards.com.
