BPW wins Automotive Brand Contest for motionist.com
- International design competition for automotive brands crowns motionist.com winner in Digital category
- With forward-thinking topics and dialogue with readers, the online transport and logistics portal is pretty impressive
- A successful first year for the online portal
Wiehl, 18.06.2020 --- A successful start for motionist.com: just one year after its launch, BPW's online transport and logistics portal has been awarded with the Automotive Brand Contest. The German Design Council's renowned international brand and design competition has honoured motionist.com as winner in the Digital category.
With motionist.com, BPW is heavily focusing on digitialistion, networking - and dialogue. The online portal, which includes topical reports, podcasts, interviews and fascinating images from the world of transport and logistics, is connected to BPW's social media channels. One year ago, motionist.com successfully replaced its printed BPW customer magazine and has since recorded more than 5,000 visits per month.
The online portal is aimed at anyone who wants to make a difference in the industry and is enthusiastic about the future of transport - from top executives to drivers. While categories such as digitalisation, electromobility and smart cities offer exciting insights into current and future industry trends, profiles of drivers and people engaged at the grassroots level, driving progress in the industry on a daily basis, ensure that motionist.com is firmly rooted in the here and now of day-to-day transport.
"With motionist.com we have completely rethought the way we look at and present topics related to the industry", explains Till Homrighausen, social media manager at BPW and project manager at motionist.com. "We are not interested in trumpeting our company topics to the industry in a one-sided fashion, but rather listening to all those involved in transport and logistics, learning from them and thus continuously developing and changing. That's why all contributions can be commented on, evaluated and shared via social media."
BPW is supported in the conception and implementation of the portal by the Hamburg-based DVV Media Group, and the website and the individual articles are designed by the agency gothsch tauer + partner.
With the Automotive Brand Contest, the German Design Council annually honours the best brands, manufacturers and agencies for outstanding product and communication design. The interdisciplinary jury of experts from the media and design industry, brand communication experts and university representatives assess the entries according to the criteria of overall concept/brand fit, product aesthetics and functionality.
