Celebrating was what wob did after the GWA Profi Award Show. The b2b agency and its clients received not one, but two of the coveted trophies in Düsseldorf: the campaign for the Messe BAU was the winner in the category "Services," and ebm-papst's GreenTech communication persuaded the jury in the category "Industrial Goods." Furthermore, the communication campaign for Netviewer was honoured. That once again makes wob the most award-winning b2b agency in Germany.

"During the last 18 months, we've been investing considerably in our creative department, and we have hired new talents in the digital area, as well as in the analogue area. Also, we have pursued our aim - to successfully emotionalise b2b brands. Now we are able to harvest the fruits", says Gudmund Semb, CEO of wob. "The GWA Profi Award is the cherry on the cake for a really successful collaboration with our clients. The fact that they have been trusting us for so many years and that they are also willing to consistently break new grounds with us makes us very proud."

wob has been working for ebm-papst and Messe BAU as international lead-agency for more than seven years. During that time, the full-service agency and its clients have repeatedly been awarded with several prizes.

"Our collaboration with wob is a success story", says Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer, Chief executive Officer of Messe München GmbH. "The innovative campaign for the BAU with its animal and plant motives is understood in the whole world. It has a big stake in the growth of the BAU, particularly abroad, and in its establishment as the world's leading trade fair for architecture, materials, and systems."

"Today ebm-past is the world's leading manufacturer of fans and industrial drives and is recognised as THE green company in its industry sector. Our GreenTech communication is contributing significantly to that. It is underlining our claim as a benchmark brand - a process which we started in 2003 with our successful change of name and the development of a uniform corporate design", says Kai Halter, International Sales Marketing Manager of ebm-papst. "wob has been triggering both. All the more I am happy that I was allowed to accept the GWA Profi Award together with wob for our successful teamwork here in Düsseldorf".

About the GWA Profi Award

The GWA Profi Award is one of the most important marketing awards for business customer communication in Germany. It was awarded for the 4th time by the German Association of Communication Agencies. The Jury makes the decision on the basis of explicit statements about the brand and communication strategy, plus evidence of success and impact. Where creative work is concerned, the experts pay special attention to creative execution, the integration of the message through several channels, the implementation and the consequent contribution to the brand promise.
