The 2021 DBA winners have been revealed! We’re thrilled to have earned a Gold award for our work with Lakrids by Bülow.
The highly-prestigious DBA Design Effectiveness Awards celebrate the branding and design projects which have proven an impactful and commercial difference for a brand. We’re celebrating 22 consecutive years of success at the DBA’s after earning a much-coveted Gold award for our work with Lakrids by Johan Bülow.
Post-redesign, at the end of 2019, Lakrids by Bülow reported its highest ever turnover and bottom line growth of a staggering 139%. In addition, the brand outperformed international sales expectations, expanded outside the category and was able to claim its status as the world’s first confectionery producer to have moved to 100% recycled packaging.
Commenting on the international recognition the rebrand has achieved, Founder of Lakrids by Bülow & Creative Director, Johan Bülow, said, “Creativity is at the very heart of everything we do and we firmly believe that, alongside our continual experimentation and innovation, a breakthrough design would be the platform for our future growth and success. But, the response to it – and the global reach we have already achieved – has exceeded even our wildest dreams. This win is a true testament for the power of design.”
David Ramskov Hansen, Managing Director at Pearlfisher, expressed the success of the partnership and DBA win,“These awards are recognised internationally, independently proving and communicating the true value of investment in design. The sales and expansion results for Lakrids by Bülow post-design speak for themselves but having the endorsement of a Design Effectiveness Award win, to formally acknowledge the link between creative and commercial success, is a wonderful recognition for our team and for Lakrids by Bülow. We are immensely proud.”
