Vorwerk has opted for Strichpunkt

Strichpunkt is the new corporate design lead agency for Vorwerk Holding. Following detailed agency screening, Strichpunkt managed to fight off competition from five national and international corporate design agencies. The collaboration includes the visual translation of the brand strategy, product branding as well as the external design of the stores and package design. First results will be presented in the second half of 2011.

Martin Berger, Executive Vice President Corporate Marketing at Vorwerk: »We were impressed by Strichpunkt’s strategic approach and comprehensive understanding of the brand. Together with the Stuttgart-based experts, we will continue to develop our strong brands and ensure a globally consistent standard.«
