We won! German Brand Award 2023

We are delighted that our Knärzje project has now also convinced the top-class jury of the German Brand Awards 2023! For the redesign and optimization of the brand communication, echd was awarded in the discipline “Excellence in Brand Strategy and Creation - Brand Design Packaging”. The German Brand Award is THE award for successful brand management in Germany, judged by an interdisciplinary panel of experts from brand management and brand science. It discovers, presents and honors unique brands and brand makers.

And there is even more reason to celebrate: in Berlin, Knärzje Managing Director Dan Anthes was recognized for his excellent brand management and mission and awarded “Best Of Best - Sustainable Brand of the Year”. He also took home an additional award as “Winner” in the “Excellent Brands - Fast Moving Consumer Goods” category. We would like to congratulate our customer Knärzje on this phenomenal honor!

Time to party! 🎉🥂

About the project

KNÄRZJE brews beer from leftover bread and was recently awarded the sustainability prize in a program on VOX. By redesigning the packaging and developing the product communication, we have now taken the brand experience beyond the moment of purchase and consumption. We transferred the brand's commitment to sustainability and climate neutrality to the printed insides of the 4-pack and the back label of the bottles, for example.

echd wins the German Design Award

We are absolutely thrilled! With the relaunch of Chantré Weinbrand and the launch of Chantré Crème, we were honored at this year's German Design Awards in the category Excellent Communications Design - Packaging.

Three years ago, we were entrusted with the reworking of the classic brandy while at the same time designing the new product Chantré Crème - a new product aimed primarily at a younger and predominantly female target group.

When relaunching Chantré brandy, it was important for us to retain the existing core brand values while integrating its USP - the soft taste - into the design. We achieved this with a new label form, a gentle logo optimization and a warm cream tone in the label. A total of 4,300 entries from 59 countries were submitted for this year's German Design Award.

We dedicate this award to our recently deceased colleague Noam Katz. He accompanied this project in the Print Production department for many years and, with his 100% accuracy and expertise, ensured that the realization worked out so beautifully. Thank you Noam 🩵
