The festive EWA dinner in Cologne’s “Flora” provided a worthy setting for the presentation of the EWA Awards 2023. Our member company Movemotions once again put together two films in which the award-winning projects were presented.

The EWA Marketing Award went to Therme Wien for the second time in a row. Dr Edmund Friedl and Florian Perteneder received the award for an exceptional employee recruiting and onboarding concept for new employees. Dr Friedl thanked the jury and the association and expressed his appreciation for the importance of the EWA Awards and the setting of the award ceremony.

The EWA Professional Award was presented to Roberto Fricker and Hendrik Pötter from Badegärten Eibenstock for their Karelian Sauna Village. Roberto Fricker handed over the microphone to his predecessor as Managing Director, Hendrik Pötter, whose life’s work is the development of the bathing gardens. Pötter reacted with emotion and gratitude to the standing ovation he received from those present at the award ceremony.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Sonja Redies from Profund Consult and our Honorary President Dr Michael Quell for their contribution to the jury.
