Last week the BEA World Festival, the prestigious award show for events and live communication, took place in Rome. D&B Event Marketing was shortlisted with two cases to win prizes and returned to Hilversum with the Silver Award Non Profit. A fantastic international recognition for the ALS community event.


The winning case: a record return for ALS thanks to the revival of the Amsterdam City Swim

In 2020, D&B Eventmarketing took over the organization of the Amsterdam City Swim. The event to raise as much money as possible for the fight against the deadly disease ALS needed a new boost, because the number of participants and fundraising declined.


“In recent years we have transformed the ACS: from a sporty fundraising event to a powerful ALS Community Event.” Says Jorryt van der Haar, Director of Creation and Innovation at D&B Event Marketing. A new approach has been developed in which the participants did not just swim for someone they knew or for the 'kick', but were linked to Wave Heroes: the ALS patients and their stories. This strengthened the bond between the participants, volunteers and patients and their stories. Result? An unprecedented increase in involvement and donations. Against all expectations, 75% more donation money was raised than in 2019! BEA World has rewarded this achievement with the silver award in the Non-profit CSR events category.

Four nominations for Daymakers

In addition to the Silver Award for the Amsterdam City Swim, there was more recognition for D&B Event Marketing and also for its sister organization FX Agency, with whom the event marketing agency has recently formed the Daymakers group. A total of four Daymakers cases were shortlisted by the BEA World Festival. For example, Lely's anniversary event campaign '75 years red impact' was nominated in the Festivity-Celebrations category. The FX Agency case for Top Employers Certification Celebration was also nominated in the same category. They also had a second nomination with the case FrieslandCampina Data Drives in the Congress/Conference category.
