27Names member agencies took home multiple awards at the 17th annual BEA World Festival in Rome last week, including the prestigious Best Event Agency designation.
Fieldwork (Norway) was ranked 3rd Best Event Agency in the World after receiving a Gold and Silver for their Yara Birkeland Launch project in the Celebration/Festivity and the Press & PR Event categories, respectively, and Gold for their “The Debates About Norway’s Future – A Democracy Project, hosted by Bente E. Engesland. While the projects themselves could not have been more different, both were tremendous and memorable events for many reasons, with the Fieldwork motto of challenging the ordinary as a common denominator.
“We are proud of this amazing achievement and thankful to work with brave clients like Yara International and dedicated partners like Ferd AS. None of this could have been possible without the hard work and commitment of our Fieldworkers- thank you to our entire team. Receiving this recognition was made especially memorable while celebrating in-person with the support of our 27Names family,” – said Fieldwork partners Øystein Johanssen and Fredrik Kolverud.

Jolos – Full Spectrum Creative Agency (Estonia) was awarded Silver in the Convention category for their “Badgers on Board” project for client Bolt. The project brought together over 1,800 Bolt employees to celebrate the company’s summer days in the most special way.
Jolos Creative Lead Melissa Mühlberg had this to say about the experience: “Winning at BEA felt unbelievable. It was my first time participating in BEA with my own projects and the whole experience was super eye-opening, educational, and full of amazing memories. I am massively thankful and happy that I was able to do it side-by-side with different 27Names partners who were all very supportive, just like people in one agency should be.”
