SEOUL, South Korea, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Daesang Group announced on the 31st that it has won two Gold Awards at the 2026 MUSE Creative Awards, a global awards program recognizing excellence in advertising, design, and digital content.
The MUSE Creative Awards, organized by the International Awards Associate (IAA), recognize excellence in creativity and innovation across advertising, design, and digital content. This year, Daesang Group was named a Gold Winner in the Food & Beverage – Social Media and Food & Beverage – Event categories, earning two Gold awards.
In the Social Media category, Daesang received strong recognition for its social media strategy promoting the No.1 kimchi brand Jongga and the global food brand Ofood. The company introduced content designed to encourage organic consumer engagement, including posts leveraging AI technology and trending memes, as well as easy-to-follow recipes that can be recreated at home. Through these efforts, social media channels have evolved beyond simple brand messaging tools into interactive platforms for consumer engagement.
