This makes them a major player in our industry and they are a wonderful fit to recognise the leading FAB Agency of The Year and The FAB Brand of The Year. YouTube will also be co- hosting The FAB Forum with us this year and we are very excited about putting together another valuable Thought Leadership Forum for The Food and Beverage Industry.”
