Expert jury NIMA Marketing Company of the Year Award 2022:
"The Henri Willig Group's submitted case really devoured and amazed the jury. How a fairly traditional family business, has used marketing as an initiator in a turnaround in business operations is noteworthy... 

The scale, impact and professional manner of the activations, while maintaining the accessible brand, is considered by the jury to be very progressive. Across all the Ps, sharp choices have been made appropriate to the brand. The initiated marketing strategy is still in full development with the first nice results in 2022All in all, as a jury we are very proud of this Dutch family company and its marketing developments."
