About the Awards

MMB Music × Brands Awards is the first awards event in Romania dedicated entirely to the intersection of music and brand communication. Born from the Mastering the Music Business ecosystem – Romania’s largest international music business conference since 2016 – the awards celebrate the collaborations, campaigns and creative partnerships that prove music is not just a backdrop, and brands are not just sponsors. Together, they can shape culture.
