BLOOMER

Bloomer won a gold award in the Staffing Company category. With the event ‘Periquita 175 years: A Celebration Shared with the City’, the agency also secured a bronze award in the People’s Choice Event category. This was Bloomer’s first international accolade following the rebranding of the former Tox’Inn, marking a special new chapter for the agency.

“We also hope that these accolades – not only for Bloomer, but for the other Portuguese companies recognised – will continue to strengthen Portugal’s position as a creative and strategic benchmark in the world of events and brand experiences,” said Joana Grácio, founder and CEO of Bloomer, in a statement.

She adds that “more than individual awards, we believe that this international recognition ultimately highlights the talent, creativity and execution capabilities that exist in our market, increasingly encouraging brands to invest in real, human experiences that are relevant to the Portuguese consumer”. She also states that “it is very encouraging to see that the work carried out in Portugal continues to gain recognition beyond our borders – and we hope this will continue to open doors for the entire industry”.

Meanwhile, the Pensar Maior project, developed for Fidelidade, won gold in the B2B Event, Corporate Event and Set Design categories.

“These awards represent international recognition of our team’s creative and strategic capabilities, but also of the trust placed in us by clients who challenge us to create ever more relevant and innovative experiences. The fact that projects such as the Irga Awards 2025 and Pensar Maior have been recognised in such competitive categories demonstrates that it is possible to produce work from Portugal that is on a par with the best international players,” said Pedro Rodrigues, director of Desafio Global, in a press release.

For Angelina Castel-Branco, a partner at iMotion Events, the agency is celebrating “much more than just two awards”. After all, this is “recognition of a vision, of an extraordinary team and of the courage to continue raising the bar for what we believe an event can be. These awards represent the incredible work of the iMotion Events team, their ideas, dedication, attention to detail and ability to transform creativity into real experiences”.

She added in a statement that, for the event, the agency had always believed “in the power of immersive storytelling, capable of placing each guest at the heart of the story. We didn’t just want to create a visually striking event. We wanted to create emotion, engagement, surprise and lasting memories. And here we are! This award belongs to the whole team, to our partners and also to our client, who believed in our vision and challenged us greatly,” she concluded.

At this year’s Eventex Awards, Motor Sponsor received a bronze award in the Exhibition Experience category for the ‘Alfa Romeo Live Assembly at Sigma Central Europe 2025’ project, carried out for Softswiss.

“This bronze award recognises a highly demanding project that brought together creativity, engineering, logistics and live operations within the setting of an international trade fair. The challenge was to transform a brand message into a real, interactive experience. Assembling an Alfa Romeo 4C live, in front of thousands of visitors, required detailed planning, technical control and a highly coordinated team,” explains André Marques, founder and CEO of Motor Sponsor.

In a statement, the spokesperson added: “We are very proud that Softswiss has placed its trust in us to develop this project and that Motor Sponsor has received international recognition.”
