Stinger Drinks Honored as “Best Breakthrough Beverage Brand of the Year” at the 3rd Golden Quality Awards

At the 3rd edition of the Golden Quality Awards—widely regarded as one of Turkey’s most respected recognition programs—Stinger Drinks was named “Best Breakthrough Beverage Brand of the Year,” following the deliberation and vote of the event’s distinguished jury. The accolade was presented to the brand’s designer, Mustafa Kemal KAYA, in recognition of his creative leadership in shaping Stinger’s identity and its rapid rise in the marketplace.

Held on 30 July 2021 at the Dedeman Hotel in Mecidiyeköy, the ceremony brought together prominent figures from arts, politics, media, and business, and was hosted by Ece Gürsel and Şenol İpek. Organized under the social-impact banner “Kadına şiddete hayır” (“Say No to Violence Against Women”), this year’s Golden Quality Awards placed purpose alongside performance—aiming to raise awareness while celebrating enterprises whose products and services merit broader recognition. Within that mission, the program acknowledges organizations and professionals who have excelled in their fields and contributed to elevating standards across their industries.

Stinger Drinks’ breakthrough distinction reflects the brand’s clear market momentum, discipline in execution, and design-forward positioning—from cohesive visual identity and packaging to digital touchpoints and storytelling that connect with modern consumers. The jury’s endorsement underscores how a compelling brand system, stewarded by Mustafa Kemal KAYA, can accelerate adoption and carve out a differentiated space in a competitive beverage category.

Accepting the award, Stinger reaffirmed its commitment to innovation, quality, and social responsibility, aligning its growth ambitions with the Golden Quality Awards’ broader message of awareness and positive change. As the brand continues to expand, the recognition serves as both a milestone and a mandate: to keep raising the bar for product experience, aesthetics, and impact.
