We won a German Brand Award!

Here’s to us 🥂

2022 was the first time we participated in the German Brand Award contest, and we took a prize home immediately. The competition received 1,200 submissions from 19 countries in various categories.

We won “Excellence in Brand Strategy and Creation Brand Communication – Fairs & Exhibitions” as well as a special mention as one of the key projects in the category “Brand Experience of the Year” for our 2021 ComeOnOverTour trade show concept, demonstrating once again that Aqipa is not just a distributor, but a success builder for brands.

“We are incredibly proud to receive these honours,” says Klaus Trapl, Vice President of Sales. “The tour was a brand-new undertaking for us, and the whole team worked really hard to make it a special event for our customers and partners. It shows that even in difficult times, you can do excellent marketing.”

For those about to rock, we salute you

Hubert Eiter and Stephan Tiefenthaler, who – as heads of marketing and graphics – were heavily involved with the organisation and execution of the project, travelled to Berlin to accept the accolades. The German Brand Award is issued by the German Brand Institute and known as one of the most prestigious marketing awards. Clearly, the innovative Aqipa spirit didn’t go unnoticed with the jury, marking another milestone in our 30+-year success story.

“With IFA 2021 cancelled yet again, it was essential for us as a distributor and brand accelerator in Europe to showcase and emotionalise products in the customer’s presence,” Hubert explains. “We want to say a big thank you to our partners, especially main sponsors Marshall, XGIMI, Unagi, Blueair and GoPro, for the trust they placed in us. Without them, this award-winning campaign would not have been possible. Kudos also go to the entire team who helped make this experiment a success. As Gear Gurus, we look forward to surprising our partners with exciting new projects in the future.”

After two years, IFA as we all know and love it, finally returns to the ICC in Berlin. Find out why Aqipa is returning as well.
