The National Tier honours brands that have become household names in their home markets, including ALTANFEETHI (Saudi Arabia), Babi Mild (Thailand), Boursa Kuwait (Kuwait), Checkers (South Africa), Costa Coffee (UK), DR's Secret (Singapore), Dynace Global (Malaysia), FERN-D (Philippines), Flimty (Indonesia), Picard (France), Spritzer (Malaysia), Vinamilk Optimum Gold (Vietnam), and Winona Baby (China), to name a few.

The Regional Tier recognises brands with an expanding footprint and market prominence across four or more countries in three or more regional markets, including M-150 (Thailand), MR DIY (Malaysia), Nippon Rent-A-Car (Japan), Sukiya (Japan), Vitaday (Thailand), and Watsons (Malaysia).
