Wunderman Thompson is proud to announce that it has won the 'Most Powerful Customer Outcome' category for its digital strategy work with Nestlé Kit Kat at this year's Acquia Engage Awards.
The Acquia Engage Awards recognise the most outstanding digital experiences organisations worldwide are building with the Acquia Open Digital Experience Platform (DXP), including Drupal Cloud, Marketing Cloud, and Widen.
Nick Shimmin, Managing Director of Wunderman Thompson SA added, “Winning the award for ‘Most Powerful Customer Outcome’ together with an iconic brand like Kit Kat validates our position as a growth partner. It’s always exciting to be recognised for the relationships we foster with clients and partners alike.”
Winning this award affirms the agency’s client-first partnership with Acquia, which is focused on helping our clients achieve their objectives and generating growth through their digital ecosystem. Further, this joint effort by WT Tech SA, WT UK Strategy, and WT Consulting SA demonstrates Wunderman Thompson's potential in collaboration across borders.
“Through our tried and tested development process and close partnership with Acquia, we could deliver a world-class platform, which has been rolled out to ten markets in six months with more still to come. Our technical expertise, underpinned by the Acquia platform, continues to drive value for our clients, making a huge impact by connecting our clients with their customers in their local market,” expressed Aluwani Raswiswi, Wunderman Thompson SA’s Chief Technology Officer.
