Charly PR wins ‘Agency of the Year (Small & Mid-Sized)’ at European Excellence Awards
Charly PR has won the prestigious trophy for 'Best Small & Mid-Sized Agency of the Year' at the European Excellence Awards, wheeling in one of its two nominations - our agency was also nominated with a campaign for Wise. Karolien Hessels (managing director), Bo De Man (PR consultant) and Johan De Ost (corp comms & content director) received the award last Friday during the #EEA2024 ceremony in Berlin.
Karolien Hessels: "As a local agency in a relatively small market, winning such a prestigious award on a European stage is a wonderful recognition of our repositioning and rebranding in 2023. For some time now, we’ve been noticing how core aspects of our positioning really resonate – such as our no-nonsense approach on the sweet spot between strategy and execution, the added value of our pretty unique combination between corporate (including crisis communication) and consumer, our 'one Benelux team' proposition and our drive to achieve results in partnership with our clients. To see these pillars now being recognized by the jury of one of the most prestigious European marcom awards, makes us incredibly proud."

Huge milestone
Charly PR was also nominated in the category 'Best Data Driven & Automated Communications' together with its client Wise – with a thought leadership campaign that created awareness among consumers and businesses about the hidden costs related to foreign payments, and Wise's multi-currency card solution.

Together, the case nomination and the agency award, mark an amazing milestone for our agency and for the entire team that achieves such great things for our clients every day. A very big thank you and congratulations to all colleagues in Belgium and the Netherlands - we couldn't have wished for a better boost to dive into a successful 2025.”
